Re: "Business Winstone 98 Katmai 504MHz... 34.3 K7 500MHz ... 41.6 You Intel guys better hope this is wrong. I am inclined to believe that it is incorrect." Looks to me like the Intel scores are bogus if you take a look at Toms Business Winstone 98 scores at the link below. You AMD guys better do the hoping that the K7 score is incorrect too. Using the originally posted number of 41.6 for the 500 Mhz K7, that puts it in a virtual tie with the 450Mhz Celeron which scores 41.5 according to Tom. Not exactly what the hypsters have been claiming. The K7 would lose to a 500 Mhz PII by about 5%. If anyone has more recent scores please post. www5.tomshardware.com EP
