To best my knowledge, AMD still beats crap out of Intel in Integer Math. Yes, it's weak in FPU. I am running one old Pentium and two AMD - I am happy. I am waiting now for AMD K-7 - It should have nice FPU - totally redesigned. It's should be at least comparable to Intel if not better, and... it should run on 200MHz bus - adopted from Alpha.
