wbmw,

RE: Also if you do the math, i.e. 66/1600, each 66 MHz increase in speed from one part to the next is really only about a 4% real increase. 4%, that's it. Looking at AMD's wholesale pricing on their web site, each extra 4% increase in speed translates into a whopping 20% hike in the price. The XP2100 (the 1.73 GHz chip) literally costs $81 more than the XP2000 (the 1.67 GHz chip) costs, and that extra $81 for 4% more speed is a bad tradeoff.

AMD ripping the consumer. Isn't that what the 'Droids accuse Intel of doing?
