I doubt if even Elmer will argue with that one. All companies try to show their products off in a good light

I'm not sure but I think I've just been insulted<g>

Things need to be put in perspective. I can remember when the original Pentium came out there was little difference between it and the 100MHz 486 available at the time. Later versions improved significantly. So the lack of a huge performance boost is not unprecedented. Northwood will be a significant increase too. Perhaps a more important point is that it's getting harder to squeeze more performance out of these designs. Most of the rabbits have already been pulled out of that hat. How big was the increase from K6 to Athlon?
