EP - Re:The claims made here over the last many months have been for a major leap forward in performance. Claims of "fastest processor in the world" and "a new era in performance" have been tossed about. I think the claims are pretty much justified. You also have to look at the headroom - and again this has to do with the definition of '7th generation'. The Athlon is (supposedly) much easier to ramp in frequency. With all the Intelabee claims that AMD's production is so much worse than Intel's, I find it remarkable that there is talk (yes, only talk at this stage) that AMD may well surpass Intel in 'the MHz race' this year. (and spare me the 'jacking up the voltage' rant). Or doesn't this count as part of the equation? - Scalability in MHz - Scalability in SMP - 200MHz FSB --fyodor
