Jim,

You mean Intel would attempt to rate a chip based on the highest speed function and not the average for instance? For the reason of making a chip "appear" to run at high MHZ? Nah...Intel wouldn't do that!

Athlon has a core which runs at one speed, and an L2 cache which runs at a slower speed. PIII uses the same clock speed for the core and L2 cache.

Does that mean that AMD is being dishonest in rating Athlon MHz?
