re: If AMD goes ahead with using model numbers to confuse the consumer into buying their product, then they are the deceptive ones.

while I am not thrilled that amd is devising model scheme I do not see it as deceptive. Intel call "2 GHz" as speed of the processor and that is really deceptive. Hz is a frequency measure and speed is usually understood as performance characteristics. p4-1Ghz and athlon mp 1Ghz are not the processors of the same speed but the processors that operate at the same frequency. I have not heard Otellini's speech but if it states what you said then Otellini seems to have no problem lying to people

re: Paul Otellini spoke for a long time on getting computers "beyond megahertz"

could it be because hammer is going to operate at much higher frequency than Itanium?
