> The Pentium 4 has currently the best price performance ratio, particularly because it's even cheaper than a comparable Athlon. > Those who doesn't believe that, should have a look at the pricelists from Intel and its distributors: An Intel 1.3 GHz Pentium 4 with > 128 MB Rambus memory and a CPU cooler costs about 544 Mark while an 1.2 GHz Athlon with 128 MB SDRAM memory costs about 600 Mark." Is not making sense. Why are they comparing the prices of two disparately performing processors? Is it not considered that the 1.20GHz Athlon is at least on par with the 1.50GHz Pentium 4 (in general, that is -- each of the two have strong wins in specific categories, but it is difficult in my opinion to dissuade the idea that they're in the same performance ballpark)? This would more or less put the 1.30GHz Pentium 4 more in the performance area of, say, the 1.00GHz Athlon. So, how many marks is the 1.00GHz Athlon with 128MB SDRAM and soforth?
