Re: you're ignoring all the industry standard benchmarks... Hmmm... maybe just a bit. But the coppermine does seem to be stretched pretty thin. I'd call those benchmarks more of a tie than the blowout victory you seemed to be declaring. On real world apps Athlon holds its own pretty well with PC100 against expensive dual 133 memory buses. Am I correct in assuming that, other than ramping to 800 or 900 MHZ, this is it for Intel until Q3 of next year? Meanwhile Athlon has .18 AL coming this quarter, Virtual channel 133, and DDR coming for Q1. On chip cache, and copper interconnects coming by Q2. And the process guys at AMD should have less of a challenge ramping Athlon than the Intel guys have ramping coppermine (at least, that has been the case so far). Its the celerons and coppermine for portables that I'm worried about. When (if) will faster K6.Xs be coming? Dan
