RE:"- Athlon is theoretically 42% faster than Willamette at unoptimized X87 floating point calculations.
- Willamette is only 15% faster at floating point calculations when code is optimized for ISSE and 3DNow.
- These calculations are based on a 1.4GHz Willamette and a 1.2GHz Athlon

What do you think?"...

1. Mhz will still sell
2. Intel will support new benchmarks to enhance performance.
3. We have a little idea what Mhz Willy will be introed at but Athlon better be close...
