SpryGuy - Re: "In fact, vendors now risk losing market share unless they can offer something other than what, next to the Athlon, appears to be a "tired and worn" architecture! " Slightly worn architecture ? PC World claims a "Slightly Warn "750 MHz Coppermine PC was FASTER than a NEW 800 MHz SpryWipey ! pcworld.com ": PC World recently compared PCWorldBench test results of the prerelease 800-MHz Athlon-based Polywell system with an Intel reference box running a 750-MHz PIII and Rambus memory because no PIII-800 system was yet available. The results were very close, with a slight edge to the Intel PIII system.
