FUDD, Wrong again. Do you really make this up as you go or is someone feeding it to you? Slick Willy wasn't running the presentation according to Anand. anandtech.com "The demo Intel showed consisted of little more than showing a 1.5GHz Willamette running their Frequency ID Utility which was extremely disappointing since they failed to even run any commonplace benchmarks on the system." Post a link or at least try to sound credible. What a maroon. Make it so, Mysef

Elmer, <<If AMD had done a 2 hour PowerPoint Presentation before a audience of industry professionals using one of their new Copper process on-die L2 Athlons, just like Intel did with their new Willamette>> Perhaps you should tell Anand and Tom about the PowerPoint demo. This extract is from Anand's report: "The demo Intel showed consisted of little more than showing a 1.5GHz Willamette running their Frequency ID Utility which was extremely disappointing since they failed to even run any commonplace benchmarks on the system. We?ve been sitting here with a member of the Tom?s Hardware crew and we?ve been discussing the reasons behind Intel not even running any benchmarks on the setup, the main conclusion we?ve come to is that because of the nature of the CPU as a first revision silicon product it probably couldn?t run anything more than the frequency ID utility without sacrificing stability. Chances are that they didn?t want to demonstrate a 1.5GHz chip that would crash upon entering Winstone or SYSMark. If anything, they just wanted to show that they are on top of the clock speed battle, especially with AMD just recently shipping the 850MHz parts and their demonstration of a 1.1GHz Thunderbird."
