"Top of the line Athlon 0.18u is 1.73GHz." That's a Palomino, the Tbird wasn't a whole lot more than a K7 with 256k of L2 cache bolted on. The top speed shipping speed of a Tbird was 1.4GHz. There were a lot more changes made to the Palomino core, there isn't a 1 to 1 correspondence. Besides, the Athlon XP 2200+ is almost certainly a 0.18 micron Palomino, so that will be at least 1.8GHz, if not 1.86GHz... "P4 at 2.4GHZ is still not twice as fast as a 1GHz P3 0.25u." Nor do I want to get into the IPC deficiencies of the P4. Suffice it to say that a 2.4GHz P4 will outperform a 1.4GHz Tualatin in almost everything. Thus, it was worth it, from Intel's point of view. We really won't know how it really stacks up against the TBred until it actually ships. But if AMD can run it at over 2GHz in bulk Si, then Intel will have a tougher time than many of the Intel supporters are ready to admit...
