Combjelly,

re: To hold that the speed of the processor is the only acceptable metric is attempting to re-write history, the industry has rejected that in the past, and there is no reason to change it.

I never said that. But to create a unilateral benchmark that mimics MHz numbers has nothing to do with reality. Even you have to admit that Model Hurtz clouds the MHz perception even more. Why not give the consumer real system performance numbers, as I suggested in this post more than a month ago (last paragraph):

Message 16454501

Of course if you rate the complete system performance, that takes the brand equity away from the microprocessor manufacturer, and transfers it to the OEM. Probably a bad thing for Intel, maybe a good thing for AMD.

re: But to argue that the concept itself is "intentionally deceptive" is either ignorant, stupid or deceptive itself.

Boy, for a moderated thread, you AMD guys sure throw around insults. I'm either "ignorant, stupid or deceptive". With that pleasant thought in mind, I'll end this side of the argument, confident that you will be banned from the thread.

Have a good weekend.

John
