Uh huh. So Intel gets to arbitrarily inflate mhz as a measure, in the Piii-P4 transition, and you don't understand it, but it's cool, because the marchitecture guys are pumping out all this NetB**s* about "more power". But any attempt to actually measure performance in a realistic way is out of bounds.

You ought to look up Via's cpus some time. They seem to be playing the mhz game well in the Intel style, but at least they don't have the nerve to expect people to pay $600 a piece for their version of mhz inflation. Via could never match the NetB**s* effort, either. Only one company in the business is capable of that level of fog.
