Re: Unlike Scumbria, I do believe that a PR-rating would be counterproductive. I'm with Scumbria, here. The only thing I can't understand is that they haven't already offered a PR rating. The only thing 90% of buyers see is the number used to label the chips. If the performance matches the number (or even if, as in the case of P4, it doesn't) that MHZ/GHZ label is 90% of the ball game. Consumer reports came out yesterday with a big "upgrade your PC" story. They ranked the performance of the systems they reviewed entirely and solely on the MHZ/GHZ rating of the systems. Consumer Reports. I think it was PC Magazine that said that the Athlon vs. P4 comparison would be "an intelligence test for the consumer." It would appear that Consumer Reports flunked the test - if they can't figure it out, what do you expect Joe Average to do? AMD needs to label their processors according to the performance offered relative to the competition. I cannot understand why they are not doing so.
