Elmer - Re: "The TTurd is supposed to be 7th generation technology. The TTurd has 3 FPU execution units to only 2 for the CuMine. The TTurd has more on-die cache. The TTurd has a faster memory bus. The TTurd finally has the benefit of a K7 optimizing compiler and it still trails the old outdated antique one generation behind CuMine. How can this be??????" The TTURD would have been OK if the Coppermine was as SLOW as the AMDroids had predicted. However, with the Coppermine already faster than the TTURDs and AthWiper (Notice the SYNERGY between TTURD and ATHWiper !!!), and a 1.13 GHz Coppermine due for release in a few weeks - WITH ALUMINUM METALLIZATION - AMD is on the defensive. Re: "The only hope AMD fans have performance wise is to keep the tiny MHz advantage because clock for clock the K7/Athlon/TTurd is not living up to the claims and the excuses are running out of gas." I guess we're in for some more jacked-up voltages on the AthWiper ! Paul
