Elmer: AMD will need a conspicuous disclaimer to avoid charges of fraud.

BS! That's 100% FUD.

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.

First: It isn't FUD. If for no other reason that the "Fear" element is completely absent. What you are spreading is FUD.

Second: Your much vaunted public is used to seeing a number that has historically been indicative of performance. What they expect from it is exactly that. They don't know squat about oscillations. You could very well argue that the P4 is further off base in this respect.
