Lower performance than what? McKinley? No. The 1.25GHz Alpha is 30% faster (SPECint) than Intel's predictions for McKinley, and these predictions were made before Intel had to scale back McKinley's clock speed. >But now let's look it from supercomputing viewpoint. That McKinley CAN be put >in most supercomputers. A k7 never will. So from supercomputing viewpoint There's an Athlon computer in the Top 500 supercomputer list. Besides, the Athlon was never meant to be a supercomputer CPU. The Opteron is. Besides, why do you care about what CPUs are in supercomputers? Are you going to go buy a supercomputer? -Tom
