Go up one level in this thread



Just a point of math: if x is 70% higher than y, then y is about 58.8% lower
than x.

(Earlier you said that the K7 was 70% faster than the P4.  If that's true, then
it cannot also be true that the P4 is 70% slower than the K7.)

BTW, I am making NO statement in the Intel vs. AMD war, only a math comment.
