>>A P4 at 1.5Ghz will just be much faster for everyday use than a dual G4/500. Sure, you might get a few Photoshop benchmarks to go faster. But in general, this is not a time to pretend "it's all OK".<<
Adam -
As I said in my previous post, I do think Motorola needs to get speeds up, but your comparison is not exactly fair or correct.
First, the P4 1.5 GHz chip isn't shipping, and won't for months. Let's compare current products to other current products. Also, there have been some reports that the P4 actually benchmarks 20 to 25% SLOWER than the PIII. Admittedly, these reports have not been verified by credible sources.
Nonetheless, Intel continues to have problems even getting reasonable quantities of their 1 GHz chip out the door, and they've had to recall the 1.13.
