Wanna Re What do you think about that? Basically, AMD is saying that Quantispeed is an inefficient measurement, and as soon as they find a new one, they'll go with it. <<<<<<

AMD made clear from day one that quantispeed was an interim measurement until all of the manufacturers could get together and come up with a good system of measuring total system performance, which is the ultimate measurement the buyers should be concerned with. Secondly, with Hammer having another 30% IPC increase, mhz as a measurement will really be outdated; as Hammer will have a 50% IPC advantage over P4; so Quantispeed will have to be readjusted.

AMD is content on using a sub-standard measurement until that time - even to their own admission. <<<<

How do you equate sub- standard to temporary? Certainly the consumers response hasn't been substandard. With the even greater differentation with IPC Hammer will have, it is even more likely Quantispeed, or some replacement metric, will become more prevalent.

How is that you don't find that FUD or Propaganda, yet you find that Intel's response is?<<<<<

I would think that if Intel was confident of their FUD standing up, Intel would have published it to everyone, instead of their meek sheep distributers.
