Re: "and used crooked benchmarks as noted by Demond of RWT in Jan, and denounced by Tom Pabst in his benchmarks" hmaly, I can't believe you are saying this. Did you complain when AMD posted TTurd benchmarks and used #1 an unavailable motherboard, #2 an unavailable version of directX, #3 an unavailable graphics driver? Why not. Methinks you are a bit hypocritical. Re: "That's it, the only criteria for evaluating whether a bus is superior is if it can support smp. What about bus speeds and point to point connections and the ability to upgrade to 400 mhz" Precicely my point. All these features and still no performance advantage. Re: "I would assume that is why Intel has been able to just sell 8% of 1ghz and 30% of systems over 900 ghz. The EV_6 bus has been shipping since Sept. of 99; the fact that you refuse to acknowledge it is immaterial. That's your problem, not AMD's. Secondly all of the price/ performance comparisons say that (Anand's, Sharkeys, Tom's Hardware)say that the Duron is the price/performance leader in low cost x-86 segment, and Tbird is the price performance leader in high-end x-86 cpu market. So what the **ll are you babbling about?" SMP price/performance leader. That's what the discussion was about remember???? EP EP
