I agree. There is no difference. I think the 820 was derated for product positioning reasons by product marketing at Intel.

The use of an MTH was a bad idea from the beginning.
If they had not derated the product and tried to go around the the RDRAM the 820 would have been a much bigger success
IMO. This would have helped the RDRAM production ramp and brought prices down sooner.

The recall of the 820 + MTH happened about the same time that Intel got noticed on DRAM and DDR memory and controller royalty issues( circa April). I wonder how this affected their decisions.
