RE:"Winstone is one of the few benchmarks which will play so favorably for Intel.".... Talk about ironic. Intel has done there best to diminish the importance of Winstone in favor of more favorable FPU intensive benchmarks. The may have no where to hide! Jim

Scumbria, "An additional factor is that synthetic benchmarks like SPEC will favor K7 over PIII. Winstone is one of the few benchmarks which will play so favorably for Intel." On this thread, I have seen people claiming Winstone99 having some benchmarking problems and producing numbers unduly in favor of PIII - is that what you are referring to or is there a specific application mix that you are concerned about? Such as the FP not being tested in Winstone. Can you expand on the reasoning behind that statement? Thanks, Chuck
