Albert, Re: "amd is open about what they are doing and they do not have double standards as intel. Amd maybe bad at marketing but they are honest about their chips while intel is trying to misinform and confuse the public"
Albert, you're only deceiving yourself. Intel makes no public comment when it comes to the competition, while AMD's campaign is in direct conflict with competition. Intel gives the consumer what they want, and they want megahertz. Intel releases these chips, displays the megahertz, and there is nothing dishonest with that. There is no comparison being made, and consumers get to decide for themselves. That's the beauty of Intel's situation. They don't need to sell the megahertz, because it sells itself.
On the other hand, if you check out the majority of press releases on this subject, you will see several news sites quoting AMD as saying that Intel deliberately released a Pentium 4 that is slower than the Pentium III. While some people on this thread entertain this fantasy, multiple benchmarks prove it not to be true. If the media is already confused enough to print this statement, then AMD is already not doing a good job of explaining the concept of performance being IPC * Frequency. That's because deception is part of AMD's campaign, and it's clear that through spreading fear, uncertainty, and doubt about the competitor's product, that AMD thinks they will increase their own sales. It purposely confuses people, and is misinforming as well. Changing a few model numbers is not where their campaign ends.
