This looks like only a small difference yet when you look at the results for the Crafty Section of the Test 903 and 904 compared with the P4's 648 and 646 For Crafty atleast The Athlons are better, Floating point is another matter AMD need's to improve in this area! Also In the Integer test's 12 in all the P4 only beat's the Athlon in : gcc,mcf,parser, and gap.
