Anyone else catch the benchmarks of the latest Athlon

Dhrystone clocks it at 1974 MIPS (aka 1.974 GIPS!) Truely it boggles the
mind. I had to explain to our sysadmin how the uVAX 3900 sitting in my
office was about the speed of a 386/25 and he nearly choked.
Yeah but did you explain that you can pile 30 users on that 3900 and it'll
still perform about the same? That's not even possible with current Wintel
hardware.
