I look at the SpecFp benchmarks and they suggest that for Alphas with large L2 caches there is more than a 3X FPU advantage obtainable in comparison with the Xeon and Pentium III CPUS tested. 500 Mhz Alpha 21264 4MB L2Cache 52.2 600 Mhz Alpha 21164 8MB L2Cache 29.2 450 Mhz Xeon .5MB L2Cache 15 I suspect that the Xeon will improve with more cache. This are just the fastest X86 shown at the www.spec.org site. I hope that some of the Alpha speed rubs off on the K7. The K7 is said to be available with up to 8MB of L2 cache.
