Goutama, RE: 1GHZ and up.
It is quite apparent that the Athlon has the ability to run at 1 ghz and AMD is just hiding the light under a bushel and just incrementally beating Intel when and where needed. Intel on the other hand has rushed parts to boards without enough testing(Rambus, 820, Dell bug etc) and is now very troubled as their CPU is close to the end of it's lifetime but the Athlon is at the beginning and their next generation is still a while away. Next year the Athlon will spread into server space with 2,4,8 and perhaps larger arrays with substantial on chip caches at full speed.
We have already seen Intel break under pressure and we will see it again.
