Re: "Elmer, is that an advance apology to what is looking like pretty crappy processor performance! (ok, if only in the first instance, as you put it.)"

Where have you seen benchmarks to draw that conclusion? Please post a link.

Re: "The only difference with the PPro and Pentium era was that Intel was introducing those from a position of strength. Hardly that position now from a performance standpoint. Intel needs a processor with very good performance NOW. Not next year or the year after."

Intel has very good performance now. Intel is the performance leader today so your statement hardly makes any sense. You might want to go over to the AMD website and notice the phoney benchmarks posted there using unreleased motherboards, an unreleased version of DirectX and unreleased graphics drivers. Compare them to the same benchmarks on Intel's website using released motherboards, released versions of DirectX and released graphics drivers. Also look at the only SPEC2000 benchmark AMD had the nerve to post. It's the FP benchmark using a K7 optimizing compiler and it gets blown away by CuMine. AMD was much too ashamed to post SPECINT scores. One can only imagine how bad they lost.

Dream on guys. It's better than nothing.
