Re: "Did AMD release actual benchmarks, with real numbers and detailed system configurations?" Says Elmer

"Yes. Go to AMD's website. The only scores you may want to see are the Spec scores. (These aren't performance comparisons!) I think everything else can be modified to make one chip look better than the other." Says Cirruslvr

Wrong. "AMD Athlon processor-based system: Reference Motherboard Rev. B (This motherboard is not commercially available at this time.)" Says AMD

AMD also says they disclaim the word "plan" as a forward looking statement.

And Compaq says it "plans" to introduce something in the next 30 days.

Perhaps the Compaq plans depend on whether they can obtain commercial motherboards.
