Sucking Wind-- You have a real knack for idiotic posts. Intel tools have a remarkable ability to skewer other people's arguments by taking a true statement a poster makes, anding it with a false statement, and thereby making the original poster seem like he or she said something false.

There is a cnet article from about a month ago asserting that AMD was selling > ten times as many 1 GHz parts as Intel. I don't take cnet on faith, but coupled with the dearth of 1 GHz P3s in the distributor channel (which, regardless of how much you cheapen it, ultimately gets access to every cpu that is released) relative to 1 GHz Athlons and the reduction in acceptable operating temperatures and corresponding increase in cooling requirements certainly makes for more than the "no idea" you assert.
