Andreas, re: For instance a Palomino-Athlon that runs at 1.4 GHz will be MODEL 1600, because AMD considers Palomino 1.4 GHz to be at least as fast as a Pentium 4 1.6 GHz. The printing on the chip will be 'A1600 .....', even though its a 1400 MHz part only. This scheme will create a very confused, and probably distrustful, consumer. They are taking a standard industry benchmark, and adjusting it to what "AMD considers" to be meaningful. I can think many, many ways that this can backfire, and really hurt AMD's brand. John
