But AMD's alternative is to equate ModelHertz with performance. That is even more bogus than equating MHz with performance. What is all this about "modelhertz"? The number is simply a product number that gives the consumer a reasonable idea of what the processor can do. AMD is saying an Athlon 1.4 will run your applications about as fast as a P4 1.6. Seems a perfectly reasonable, even conservative, positioning to me. If the consumer is concerned then they will ask the salesman. AMD have set the bar sufficiently low that I doubt many will refute AMD's performance claims. I don't see what the big issue is here. If anything, I have a bigger issue with Intel selling the P4 without a warning on the box that the MHz does not equate to the "industry standard" of the Pentium. That is more bogus that anything AMD is trying to do here.
