wbmw,

Model numbers only makes the Athlon XP look better with respect to the Pentium 4 from a marketing perspective. It has no relevance to performance, and in fact, it's even less accurate.

Now how is MHz accurate, if every processor has different performance at given MHz?

I agree about marketing angle. Here, AXP model numbers reflect their performance vs. P4 more accurately than MHz.


SpecInt       Base Peak
P4 1.7        573  587
P4 2.0        640  656
AXP 2000+     697  724 
P4 2.0A       722  735
