Heatsinker, Re: "If this is true, which is unknown, it does present some interesting challenges for Intel marketing. Intel's marketing machine has been promoting megahertz for years, how do they trumpet the merits of the high-IPC Banias?"

It's as good a reason as any for Intel to quit the megahertz hype while they still have time. I've always thought that it would be a successful move if Intel could trump AMD with some sort of "TPI" of their own. That way, they get the credibility of creating a meaningful benchmark for performance, and at the same time, they would kill Quantispeed. If Banias ends up clocking like a Pentium III, that's even more of a reason to this this ASAP.
