Tench,

Re:" It's kind of confusing. Linley says a Pentium II could have reached 500 MHz, and that's what he's using as a baseline cut-off. Sure, the Pentium ||| is already at 550 MHz, but according to Linley, this is the "mid-life kicker."

Well he's is basing THIS comparison on what speeds HE THINKS pentium II COULD have reached.

On his previous comparisons he used actual speeds of parts that were shipped.

It seems to me that he applied a patently unfair process.

I agree it's relatively immaterial, but looks like he wanted to write the article with an anti AMD slant and proceeded to twist the facts by making up a non-existant PII speed that never shipped.

Reminded me of some of the analists.

Regards,

Kash

Tenchusatsu - Re: "since I think Pentium II could have reached higher clock speeds if Intel wanted it to"

The Celeron - a Pentium II with 128K L2 cache on chip (as if you didn't know !) will be introduced at 500 MHz - within a month, I believe.

Paul
