Tench, why do you think modelhertz equates with performance? Cars for example have different models to indicate certain characteristics but no absolute performance. Take the Celica for example. It has three flavours. ST, GT and GTS. The differences being not only engine output but layout, interior/exterior equipment etc.
I think that AMD should just market the modelhertz but not even bother comparing them with equivalent Intel models.
Use the modelhertz designation only as a fancy selling name like GT, GTS, Fuel Injection, AWD you name it. Add fancy names and the public will buy. Someone should mention this to AMD. If they don't make direct comparisons to Intel models no one can cry foul. Leave it up to magazines and competitors to find out what performance means and how the modelhertz correlates with competitor's Mhz.
