Hi John, I saw a Quad P6 board running at an Intel ee demo. it runs at 1100 Mips, and destroys a alpha. by the way, a dual p133 board will outperform an alpha on most things. the exception is rendering with heavy FP. the alpha is actualy very poor at interger operations. if you look at the spec int for the 275 alpha , and then for the p133 you will see that the alpha is running at 2 times the mhz but does not have 2 times the spec int. the pentium is a very efficient cpu more so than alpha or Mips. the p133 outperforms the mips 4400 175 in specint despite running at 42mhz slower. mhz for mhz , the pentium is very fast . most do not test it with 32 bit software in NT though. it must be to realize full benefit we have several cross platform Nt benchmarks we beta , and the tests bear this out. the p6 is 2 times as efficient the pentium running at the alpha's 275+ mhz would score incredibly high spec numbers. the 200 mhz P6 will break records 350 spec+ it will have 512k of L1 cache internal !!
