John, <If I believe the the Photoshop benchmark, Intel is hosed. AMD is about 30% faster than Intel's SDRAM or 820 RDRAM solution.>

Well, those benchmarks are coming straight out of AMD's own web site. I hope you took those results with a grain of salt.

Meanwhile, you might want to check out these links for third-party reviews of AMD's Thunderbird:

tomshardware.com
anandtech.com
sharkyextreme.com

The general consensus is that while the new Thunderbird is faster than the current Athlon, it is by no means a Pentium III killer.
