Paul: It does not matter what others have. Intel shipped to Tom a bad CPU as it does not run at the marked speed. Then they told him, when it failed, that he needed a microcode update. Either way, it is Intel that failed, not Tom. Five out of six is still not good odds when you need to sell reliability. We have not heard that Intel contradicts anything that Tom has said. That is the telling factor. Remember when Intel shipped to Tim Wilkin's a compiled prefetch version of QMC that did not even run? If Tom was incorrect, Intel P/R would have quickly sent out a press release saying Tom was wrong and with their side of the story. Since no such press release has arrived, you must take Tom's report of this Intel messup seriously. Denigrating Tom just shows you can not take it when Intel screws up BIG TIME! Now even those sites that you cite, have said that they have had the 1.1 GHz Tbirds for several weeks now. They are awaiting the lifting of the NDA to release the benchmarks. By Anand's review, P3 won far less benchmarks when comparing same chipset core (VIA 133A vs VIA KT133) than a 3% slower Tbird. Intel better fix its Q/C problems. Pete
