SCUMbria - Re: "P4 is too big, tied to the Rambus boat anchor, and loses to Athlon on most benchmarks. "

Huh?

We just discussed that - new drivers - and new software - bring the Pentium 4 ABOVE the AthWiper performance.

As for RAMBUS and die size - get a grip - Intel's yields on 217 sq. mm. Pentium 4 deliver MORE GOOD DIE than AMD's smaller AthWiper - get over it.

RAMBUS memory adds some extra cost, but customers pay more for Intel products - fact of life.

And besides - AMD's DDR efforts - at least with VIA chip sets - provide higher costs at NO BENEFIT in speed.
