Re: "Apparently Intel's lawyers got to the P4 benchmark folks. With the launch a few short weeks away, shouldn't Intel be a little more open about the numbers?"

I remember how you kept criticizing AMD for not releasing benchmarks before the Athlon intro. That was you wasn't it Scumbria?

Scumbria, >Apparently Intel's lawyers got to the P4 benchmark folks. With the launch a few short weeks away, shouldn't Intel be a little more open about the numbers?

As I recall, it was all mum about the K7 right up until it came out. For quite a while, all we had to speculate on was that really bad Firing Squad bench. Also, Damone gave some pretty believable reasons about keeping quiet, or even letting understated stuff sit, in that article that went around today. He also mentioned the PPro stealth launch and how successful that was.

So, here, we have a Mr. Phud, and we have a Mr. FUD.
