Scot,

<There's no doubt that the 750 is not scaling as well as the Athlon's with the 1/2 speed cache (based on Anand and even the AMD benchmarks). Can frequency alone compensate?>

The cache multiplier basically means we are going to see steps every once in a while. 800, 850 and may be even 900 should stay with 2.5 multiplier and by that time, Integrated cache should be in. And Anand's review shows 750s being ahead of 700s by a decent margin on FP and somewhat less on int. That should be fine. I am not concerned.

Also we gotto keep in mind that this is a game of perceptions. Intel has been able to sell PIII for hundreds of dollars more than Cleron when there was virtually no performance difference between them. Technically savvy folks may skip 750 but in the scheme of things this is irrelavant.
