Re: 27% improvement from 1733 to 2200 is more than most of us expected

Pretty much says it all. AMD has done a terrific job of managing expectations.

How many CPU shrinks have ever resulted in less than a 27% speed improvement?

At this point, after Intel's barrage of "technology demonstrations" buyers are bored by a P4 running at 3GHZ, and thrilled by the notion of an Athlon at 2.2GHZ.

Of course, given the limp IPC of the flaccid Pretendium 4 architecture, that's the way it should be...
