Paul and Thread - Interesting comment from CBS Marketwatch's "Zapman" I believe many of us small fry investors wonder what's really going on... cbs.marketwatch.com From the column: Now, if the SEC really wants to dig it's teeth into a problem, maybe it could go after some of the Wall Street analysts who generate churn in stocks by raising a rating, cutting a rating, and raising it again while the fundamentals of a company stay relatively unchanged. Start with Intel (INTC: news, msgs), a widely held company that has been remarkably consistent in performance. Or maybe it could probe what's really going on with "buy on the rumor, sell on the news," a problem that's gotten so out of hand on Wall Street that people have forgotten there wouldn't be any rumors unless insiders were selectively disclosing material information in violation of federal law.

Paul, Intel's internal testing has shown that a 533 MHz Coppermine outperforms a 600 MHz Pentium /// with off-chip 512K 1/2 speed cache. I wonder what benchmark they are using. The numbers I calculated were for Winstone. If Intel chose a benchmark which fits nicely in a 256K L2, then they will be able to feel happy about Coppermine's L2. Obviously, larger benchmarks will not make Coppermine look so good. Are there other architectural enhancements in Coppermine? Scumbria
