Kash - Re: "The only system that came close to earning the score recorded in the CRN Test Center by the 800MHz Athlon unit was a 733MHz Pentium III reference system using an early-design Intel motherboard and Rambus memory. That Intel system scored 645, 6.5 percent behind the 800MHz Athlon"

Looks like the Spry Coppy may still be the winner !

Given a 9.1% SPEED handicap, it was only 6.5% slower than the not-yet-available 800 MHz AthWipey !

Isn't that kind of embarrassing ?

That 5 year old P6 core still FASTER than the brand spanking new 7'th generation AthWIPEY ?

By the way - was that 800 MHz AthWIPEY running with a jacked up voltage?

AMD grabs speed lead with mindblowing NT scores:

Good Post Kash:
Each time I have stated that the Athlon is the much better bargain than the Intel/Rambus combination there is a big silence from those Intel guys/gals? What do you think is the reason they never respond to that? Duh, they have none.

Good Luck
