Elmer, <Pretty dumb but what was sad was AMD had to resort to an outright lie claiming to be faster than any Intel processor clock for clock.>

I just caught the commercial a minute ago on MNF. I don't mind the "outright lie" considering that Apple has been saying the same thing for quite a while now. Remember those "Pentium II on a snail" commercials, or more recently the "G4 guarded by tanks"? Come to think of it, I don't know if the "faster than Pentium" claim will really work anymore thanks to Apple's overuse of that claim.

As for the quality of the commercial itself ... er ... it ranks right up there with Intel's "I feel pretty" Blue Door commercial. Remember that?
