Re: "I think he meant to say: "The P4 does terrible on current code. When running not-know-when-will-be-ever-available-code the P4 matches Athlon speed clock-per-clock."

Hardly. The P4 runs P4 optimized FP ~23% faster than Athlon runs Athlon optimized FP code clock for clock.

Run the numbers for yourself.

spec.org

1.2 GHz Athlon = 359 SPECFP2000 or 299.17 per GHz.
1.5 GHz P4 = 550 SPECFP2000 or 366.67 per GHz.

366.67/299.16 = ~122.6% per GHz.

P4 runs optimized FP FAR faster than Athlon on a clock for clock basis and absolutely blows Athlon away in absolute terms. Athlon simply isn't competitive.
