Randy - Re: "It appears that AMD's CPU designs compute more efficiently, for a given clock speed, than does Intel's. Is this in general true? And if so, what is it about the AMD design that has netted them this particular technology lead? Can it be summed up in a paragraph for those not so familiar with CPU design?" AMD's Athlon is their first good design. You make it sound like it a New Law If Nature that ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL of AMD's CPUs are better than ALL of Intel's. How severely naive you are. By the way - Intel's 6'th generation Coppermine - when introduced in about 1 1/2 months - may equal or exceed AMD's 7'th generation x86 CPU - which should cause you to think a little more about AMD's one trick pony.
