Elmer, speaking of peak power problems, did you ever hear what happened to the Athlon power supply issue where those huge voltage regulators had to be used in a "temporary" power setup to get clean power to the processor? Just an engineering type that likes to see loose ends get tied.

Elmer,
RE:"2 Points Kash.

You do remember that AMD was caught cheating on some of their
benchmarks don't you? "

Read Anands CPU comparison. He admits that AMD did a little benchmark fudging but nothing compared to Intels benchmark fudging.
Intel is king of Fudge.

Elmer - RE: "You do remember that AMD was caught cheating on some of their benchmarks don't you?"

So that means that since AMD was trying optimize a piece of software (3D Mark) to show the Athlon's true performance ability, something other companies also do, the Athlon isn't 40% faster than the Xeon in the Intel optimized version of SpecFP?
