Paul - RE: "Anand has tested 800 MHz Athwipers with 133 MHz VIA Chip Sets and SuperBypass Irongates and Coppermines with Rambus and 133 MHZ SDRAM."

Cumine is basically faster in "Mutant Blaster" (TM Paul, I think) games and is faster in business apps while the Athlon is basically faster in workstation apps.

Too bad gamers don't have the comparatively big budgets workstation users have. The 800MHz Athlon platform costs less than the 800MHz Cumine platform. Score a win for the Athlon in price/performance, and of course availability also.
