Blake, re: Benchmarks
Benchmarking has become an artform with the viewer as critic. What you want to see is what you get. (An exaggeration, perhaps).
To AMD's credit, they put up an unbiased set of benchmarks. They compared the old to the new on similar platforms and showed them side by side on their web site. In this case it was a new chipset and DDR.
I would like to see the same from Intel. In Intel's case we're talking a new CPU and chipset. An unbiased comparison would be the P4/i850 vs the PIII/i840. Both are dual channel with similar memory costs. An apples to apples measure of the real power of P4.
And if Intel doesn't do it themselves, plenty of others will.
