Jeff - <Intel has lost the battle on performance for the foreseeable future. AMD is sandbagging with 650 MHz. They'll ship 800 MHz if they have too.>

I say they'll announce an 800 if they have to. Why would they sandbag? This is extremely wishful thinking. Why isn't the market flooded with 650's then?

<You have to also remember that AMD design does much more work per MHz than the aging Pentium III/II/Pro architecture.>

I'll tell you what I've been telling everyone else that brings this up: You seriously underestimate Coppermine's ability to scale in raw MHz. But, feel free to believe what you want.
