Go up one level in this thread


It is obvious they tested some of the inferior beta chips. One just need to look
at the very low Floating point benchmarks. AMD begged testers not to use them.I
therefore reccomend reading Toms hardware guide carefully. Especially since if
they are in the wrong they will post articles retracting earlier statements. But
I think firstly serial chess programs (single cpu ones) will benefit, and then
parallell ones, as the K7 memory and bus are based on the superior ALPHA
architecture.
