AMD's Athlon is their first good design.

Hmmm, in that case maybe AMD has been somewhat effective in their marketing since I thought that their consumer-level chips have spec'ed ahead of those of Intel's for more than a year now. I didn't realize that one has to distinguish between "generations" rather than simply look at contemporary products.

You make it sound like it a New Law If Nature that ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL of AMD's CPUs are better than ALL of Intel's.

I didn't intend to; I didn't realize it was "all of a sudden" that AMD had demonstrated "higher computing efficiency" per clock cycle.

How severely naive you are.

Thanks for not resorting to caps ;-).

By the way - Intel's 6'th generation Coppermine - when introduced in about 1 1/2 months - may equal or exceed AMD's 7'th generation x86 CPU - which should cause you to think a little more about AMD's one trick pony.

I own INTC (and not AMD) for obvious reasons.
