If you are a journalist why are you so biased towards AMD.
Perhaps, I am unusual but I expect professionals to act in unbiased ways. Could you being using the term "loosely"?
If you are a paid PR writer or flack , I would not consider that professional journalism.

By the way, the X-box hardware as it is being presented today lacks "sizzle". DDR and a P3 do not make any gamester's day by the end of 2001. A P4 and RDRAM for both the CPU and the Graphics memory for the new NVDA chip makes a lot more sense. The P4 architecture was optimized for multimedia and the recompiled game code is showing 70% more speed than recompiled Athlon code at the same clockspeed.
Now that is "sizzle".

The current NVDA graphics chipset is memory bandwidth bound currently with DDR. The use of RDRAM would eliminate this bottleneck. The QRSL RDRAM blows away any DDR this is why SUNW selected it for the MAJC chipset and also why CPQ selected it for their new ALPHA chipset. Hey, that is what RDRAM was designed for!
