AMD is not claiming the processor runs at a higher frequency than it actually does, they have simply decided not to supply the operating frequency, but rather a model number to more easily allow the customers to gauge the performance. Now who's spreading FUD? AMD is selling a processor with a number associated with it. The public is used to seeing a number and it's always been MHz. The new number is in the range of what the public is expecting. It's certain that the public will see the number and assume it's the MHz, just like it's been in the past. As long as they don't stick a "MHz" on their Model #s, AMD is untouchable on this. AMD will need a conspicuous disclaimer to avoid charges of fraud. EP Have you ever bought a package of hotdogs that are "91% fat free" only to find out they are still 80% fat? I wonder when they will be accountable as well.
