Re: ""About as fast" You mean, the fact that the K7 was 25% better than the PIII on FPU-intensive applications proves that the "slower Pentium III knocks the socks off the K7?" Is this fuzzy logic?"

That's what I mean by tortured logic. The benchmark (rightly or wrongly) showed the Intel processor to be about 62% faster so you figure that means the K7 is 25% faster! Brilliant!

Are you LOONEY ?

The FS Benchmarks showed that the 550 MHz K7 was 40% slower than a 500 MHz Pemtium /// and P /// Xeon on the FPUMark test.

YOU STILL CAN'T READ !

Does the University of Virginia offer refunds ?

You deserve one !!
