Re: "With Thunderbird running neck and neck with the Pentium III and Duron set to trounce the Celeron, Intel could be in quite a bit of trouble very soon"

Don't you see something quite reveling here? Athlon was supposed to be a 7th generation processor and it lost most benchmarks to Intel's old antiquated 6th generation processors. Here we have a 7.5th generation processor in the quite underwhelming TBird and "Thunderbird[7.5th generation] running neck and neck with the Pentium III[6th generation]". Doesn't this suggest something to you? You will see what a real 7th generation processor is soon enough. Maybe that should be 8th generation.....
