SPEC 2k results show different picture, too: http://www.spec.org/cpu2000/results/res2003q4/cpu2000-20030922-02523.html http://www.spec.org/cpu2000/results/res2003q3/cpu2000-20030908-02472.html Thanks, Eugene On November 29, 2003 at 14:13:28, Aaron Gordon wrote: >On November 29, 2003 at 10:41:44, Jorge Pichard wrote: > >>Intel was not going to stay back just watching AMD get all the attention >>http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,1276979,00.asp > >Pretty misleading.
