re: <Even previously pro-AMD web pages have admitted the fact that the 2.0GHz Pentium 4 has managed to definitively beat the Athlon.>

Yes.

However, most reviews have included some sort of qualificaiton. Either a price-performance qualification or a qualification to the effect of "Intel wins for now, but something is just around the corner".

Besides, you have to admit, this is a tit-for-tat sort of thing. A game of oneupsmanship. Granted, Intel wins this round, but that is merely because they were the first to arrive. AMD won't arrive at 2 GHz for a while, but their next release should at least put the reviewers back into a confused status as to any clear winners, at best, a clear victory for AMD.

The big question is, how long can AMD remain competitive in this game before hammer arrives? Is the 2 GHz P4 Intel's first step "away" from AMD in a series of strides to come?

An even bigger question is, does any of it matter if the economy doesn't turn around anytime soon?
