Ted,

I think Willy will run about 20-30% slower than Athlon at the same clock speed. So they will need to have 20%-30% higher MHz to compete with AMD. It might happen, but Willy certainly is not going to kill AMD.

ted, the #1 design goal of the P4 was high clock speed. This has nothing to do with the Internet, streaming video, audio or anything else. Personally, I think these applications are served better by dedicated hardware which is much cheaper and has lower power consumption, or, if you insist on a computer doing it, by greater parallellism.
