Which is more fraudulent?:
* Labelling a PC as running at 2.53 GHz, which is what it actually runs at, or,
* Labelling a PC as a "2600+", which is _not_ what it actually runs at?
Intel has a powerful defense in this typical lawyer lawsuit: it says its machines run at 2.2 GHz, 2.4 GHz, 2.6 GHz, etc....and, surprise, they actually DO run at these speeds. How fast they run applications is for benchmark voodoo ninjas to argue about. (But the results for the P4 are clearly very, very good as compared to the fastest Athwipes.)
AMD is the one who should be running scared. Not only can their fastest Athwipes not keep up, but they started falsely implying that their macines are running at "2600 MHz," the clear insinuation of the "2600+" moniker (or should I use the word "monica"?).
