These figures are very good. But as people at ACEs and other forums have pointed out
the scalability with clock rate falls short of the 100% that AMD showed in its pre-launch

level.

Then it is in good company. Quite crowded but good company nevertheless.

Athlon has shown that real world application performance and SPEC performance
don´t have too much in common in many instances

Don't hold your breath waiting for the rest of the computer industry to drop SPEC
in favor of superpi.
