RE: AMDroids and the AMD-paid Bounty Hunters who are looking for problems that may not exist in Intel chips while compeletely ignoring - probably also because AMD pays them NOT TO - severe instability problems in AMD's AthShlock devices. There is no clear evidence that the P4 is throttling. You are correct in observing that some "AMDroids" are being deceptive pretending otherwise. But it's not a conspiracy. The throttling debate arose out of curious Quake III benchmarks and an Intel paper. The paper suggested that thermal throttling might be necessary in the P4 -- if not the current version, then future ones. Regarding "severe instability problems in [Athlon] devices," you should also recognize that statement as deceptive B.S. The Athlon (much like the P4) requires a high quality power supply.
