Re: "Elmer, stop the sillyness. You really are starting to look desparate. Athlon based system will be available and will outperform any current Intel's offering, there is no question in my mind. If you still doubt this, you can not put 2 and 2 together. Now you can pull all the one liners that you want, but that will not change a thing. " Main, you are avoiding the question. Did AMD publish a datasheet confirming 1.6V core voltage or did you just quote someone else? That should be pretty easy to answer. I expect Athlon systems WILL outperform Intel systems in the short term and I have stated so several times on this thread. How many times do I have to say it? EP

Mani, if the Athlon comes out at 650MHz next week (not likely), do you really think that Joe Public will pay a whole lot more for an Athlon than he is willing to pay for Intel's 450MHz PIII CPU? Will retail buyers pay far more to jerk up their 70fps Quake scores to a 100fps test result that they can not see? And what portion of the public actually edits 100MB Photoshop images? Beyond the techies who visit Sharkey Extreme and Anand each month, does anyone actually care? And, how many of those budget-minded techies will soon trash their overclocked 300MHz Celerons for anything that costs real money? IMHO, the answer to these questions will determine AMD's future.
