PB,

Re:"That's THEWATSONYOUTH, not me. I do find his analysis very interesting though, and am in the process of trying to verify its veracity.

I just saying that 450MHz is, well, 450 MHz on .18, never mind the vaunted Cu?"

Seems to me you are posting a bunch of FUD here, i am sure elmer is impressed.

The implication seems to be that because the G4 only runs at 450Mhz at 0.18/Cu that somehow implies problems for Athlon.

As you are well aware the architecture playa a big role as well. For instance the HP81500(???) runs at lower Mhz than PIII but has much higher performamce.

However a more interesting metric would be to see where the PPC was at 0.25 and compare with the new 0.18 devices.

The G4's are running approx 50% faster than their 0.25 bretheren.

So you might figure out that for the Athlon architecture 1 Ghz should be quite reasonable with the 0.18/cu process as they achieve 650Mhz with 0.25 micron.

But I expect you will post more FUD now.

regards,

Kash
