Tench Re.. No matter what, this strategy will backfire exactly like John Fowler predicted.<<<<<<<<

Why? If its the truth, AMD should have no trouble. As desktops acquire more and more power like mainframes, isn't it just as likely they will eventually be rated in the same way, which is performance vs mhz. If we look at cars, airplanes, trains, ships, etc. most of them reached a plateau and then leveled off. While I will never pretend to know the max. easily sustainable speed without hitting timing problems etc.; eventually computer speeds at a reasonable cost, will have to level off and performance will define the computer.

The conservativeness of the ModelHertz numbers is only a smokescreen covering AMD's true intention: <<<<<<<<

Or it may be the truth which Intel will have a hard time debasing.

to change the rules of the "MHz sells" game that they happen to be losing big time.<<<<<<<<

Apple has for yrs been able to sell a lot of computers based upon performance, rather than mhz. Will increased speed or increased performance be the way we define mainframes or desktops in the future. Most supercomputers nowadays are hundreds of simple computers hooked together to do massive calculations. Isn't it likely that desktops will also follow that path in the future; parallelism rather than pure speed. Wouldn't Jackson technology be a part of that?
