Hmm. What benchmarks did they use? A reasonable mix? Is MPC making a comeback in realism?

dale, thanks for the MaximumPC info. Their application benchmarks are pretty favorable to AMD, maybe that's why Intel decided not to give them a preview system.

Anyhow, if there is no P4 review for a month, we can be sure there will be at least a 1.2 G DDR Athlon to compare it with by then.
