45nm Phenom Overclocked, Super Pied

[i found nemo]

The SuperPI shows very unrealistic difference between Intel and AMD. It's the most stupid benchmark which I know. It's almost the same when you try to compare Intel vs. AMD in Everest CPU AES test.

how so? pi is all about low latency & bandwidth from cache & system memory. example 1mb l2 has about 200 mhz advantage vs 512kb cache, assuming ram timings & speeds are exact( on amd ). how's it unrealistic? wasn't so bad years ago when amd was spanking intel in that app. ( unless you had a pentium m, wich was on par, if not exceeding amd in more than just pi ) you need to talk to the super pi god, aka one page book ( opb ).

super pi may seem inaccurate because all the sudden we have hardware that has implimented micro ops fusion & can do calculations in a sinch. it's called, progress. so is 3d mark '01 useless? every bench has it's place, even synthetic.
