Ali - <To some extent yes. This "magic apparatus" is called "the [micro]architecture thingy"....your professional opinion is relevant to only 1/3 of the "MHz equation" - to your device/process parameters.> In a sense you are absolutely correct. For the other 2/3's of the equation, I am relying on other sources besides my own head and gut. If AMD's MHz ramp does blow Intel out of the water, it won't be because of the process, and it would be due to "the architecture thingy". However, that is not my prediction. I belive the MHz ramps of both competitors will probably be close, all things considered. PB
