What kind of crap is this? I never, ever said that the P4 was good at running Diep. I was responding to your comment: >A 1.2Ghz K7 MP outperforms a 2Ghz P4 right now at nearly >every aspect, that says quite something... Since when is Diep "nearly every aspect" of a microprocessor's performance? I just checked the Ace's Hardware article that you were referring to, and in several of those benchmarks, the 1.7GHz Dual P4 outperforms the 1.2GHz Dual K7. Moreover, doing linear scaling to get the 1.7's numbers up to 2GHz, the P4 wins several more of the benchmarks, even the Diep one (!!). >Don't tell me a word on the P4 it's a shit processor in all respects, >of course in some testsets it profits from RDRAM having a bigger >bandwidth. That's videogames with streaming data (profitting from >the rdram), not integer performance or floating point performance. Sure, so if the AMD wins, it's because it's a better chip. And if the P4 wins, it's because it's a shit chip being propped up by some other aspect of the system. You keep telling yourself that. -Tom
