Dan, re: "Hammer 3400 is planned to be 35% faster than Athlon XP 2800+ in "normalized performance" according
to AMD's past presentations."

Is "normalized performance" relative to a TBird? I would rather the performance standard simply be performance on a set of benchmarks, periodically refreshed as software and uses evolve. At present both model and MHz values overstate performance (ie. they both increase faster than actual performance) and of the two MHz is closer to providing a measure of the relative performance change when considering two speeds of the same processor.
