I know it but I do not think that it is so important
pentium90 against p200 is a bigger advantage and the ssdf results dhow that the
rating difference is less than 100 points even in this case.
The expected result between equal program should not change dramatically.
I understand changing from 4:4 to 4.5:3.5 but not a big change.
