Re: "Elmer, WHat do you mean Intel is faster? The Athlon is faster than the coppermine for the same clock speed for 99% of the benchmarks I have seen on third party review sites. In fact lower speed Athlons beat faster P-IIIs on many benchmarks. So it is no lie....it is quite true."

Bill, AMD is the one who produced that commercial. AMD posts the benchmarks for the Athlon on their own website. The Intel benchmarks posted on the Intel website beat the Athlon on virtually every single benchmark. AMD chose those benchmarks and they lose to Intel. You have AMD's word for it. If you disagree then it seems to me you should take your argument to AMD because they are the ones providing the data that shows the Athlon is the loser, thus the term "lie" is appropriate when AMD's own data convicts them.
