"Additionally, the Sandra beta 8.15 used in our tests contained altered AMD code that undermined Athlon-DDR SDRAM performance. Of these routines, Mr. Silasi said he "re-optimized them for the PIII." This "killed Athlon performance in the FPU test," Mr. Silasi revealed."

that was ripped from AMDZone so go there for the full scoop...

this is kinda crazy seeing as how the Athlon controls a good part of the market, albiet not as much as the p3, but still. Anyway, I know sandra already stinks as a benchmark but this adds insult to injury...

My 1.33ghz Athlon beats out every p4 in Sandra's benchmarks! I have the full sandra benchmarking utility though.
