Ah, good, you posted it over here too. Now I won't have to engage in any mud wrestling on those other threads. INTEL is saying the 1.4 Ghz Pentium-4 is 20% faster than a 1 Ghz Pentium III. So, what's the law of diminishing returns up there at those clock speeds? In other words, would a 1.4 GHz PIII, if you could build one, be 40% faster than a 1 GHz? Scale factors depend on the benchmark, of course. Elmer has some excellent benchmark links; you probably do also. Tony

Re: "Now figure in the Mustang/DDR speed up over the T-bird and let me know what you think..." I think that by the time you see a Mustang/DDR system you will see even faster P4s so don't try and compare future AMD products with what will soon be present Intel products. The MPR expects the P4 to reach 2GHz on the current process. I think we should be talking about performance on a given process and not comparing MHz. (Yes I know... MHz sells) EP

Jim, <Anyway. INTEL is saying the 1.4 Ghz Pentium-4 is 20% faster than a 1 Ghz Pentium III. That's using "their" benchmark suite which I would think is a little favorable at the very least.> We will no doubt see how well Pentium 4 stands up to the onslaught of Herr Doctor Uberclockermeister. Chances are that he'll roast it because of two reasons: 1) Rambus ('nuff said) 2) Price/performance. After all, Intel isn't giving it away for free like AMD seems to be doing with Athlon these days.
