Ptanner, Re: "comparisons which are made to the P4 2GHz."

Good thing they didn't use a 2.0AGHz Pentium 4. They had a tough enough time trying to outperform the 2.0GHz Willamette as it was in some tests. I noticed that they dropped a number of benchmarks from their repitoire. To their credit, most of the ones they dropped were the ancient and outdated benchmarks (the ones with the '99 at the end - CPUMark99, for example). Still, their choice of games was obvious. They had to balance out Quake III and Dronez by adding Expendable and Serious Sam (two tests that perform poorly on the Pentium 4). They are getting *better* at improving their credibility, but I still don't see a well rounded or balanced test suite. And many of the results will change now that Northwood is out. Does AMD expect to add extra L2 cache to a processor core in the near future? If not, there is nothing that will maintain the lead that they claim, and they'll eventually fall behind at higher clock speeds (and model numbers). They just can't add 100 every time they increase clock frequency by 67MHz. Eventually, it will catch up to them.

P.S. What about comparing SPECint2000? Did AMD quit that as soon as Northwood scored a 771, outperforming the highest recorded Athlon score by 14%?
