Elmer,

It IS NOT a good day for the church of iNTEL.
I was hoping unrealistically iNTEL could get the 820 out today.

But thank you for your kind and courteous response.

I'm sure you have nothing to worry about concerning your credibility.
Don't let my credibility trouble you.

Elmer - RE: "Coppermine beats Athlon on every single major benchmark AMD published on AMD's website, except of course the one where AMD was caught cheating...."

Just for the record, Athlon 700 is clearly faster than Coppermine 733 in JMark 2.0.

And the Athlon is faster than Coppermine on that benchmark you are talking about WITHOUT the Athlon specific version. I think Sharky's test shows this.
