Tench: Oh it's arbitrary all right. Let's assume the "quantispeed" rating is based off of Pentium 4 running SPEC2000 Your whole argument is invalid if it is based on Tbird instead. As long as AMD is consistent in their use of the rating, there shouldn't be much of a problem with platforms. One way would be to just use the fastest platform available at the time of the first speed-grade intro (so you don't change the underlying platform when you introduce higher frequencies of the same core). Whenever you really want to switch to the latest and greatest underlying platform, you switch name (e.g. PIII --> P4 --> P5 (cough) etc). As long as there is good consistency, such a rating scheme would certainly be better than the current "MHz-ratings". -fyo
