Chuck: the power issue. It is FUD with very little understanding As long as there is no experimental data, I agree. BUT: From: aceshardware.com " Posted By j on Fri, Apr 13, 2001 11:45:39 AM EST When the c't magazine tested an old non-coppermine PIII 600 some years (?) ago, they wondered why this CPU could not achieve better results as an PIII 500 I recall. After investigation, they found out that that tested PIII was also reducing frequency when getting too hot..." I remember the story as well. So: Oops, Intel did it again! Did they? Selling a 600 MHz high perf. piece that is actually performing like 500 under heavy load is kind of deceptive, I would say. As we don't need 600 when our PC is waiting for input only. Maybe better Intel supplies the experimental data before ct, Tom, Aces, Anand, Ziff Davis and the rest of the bunch do. Low IPC and reduced C isn't too great a marketing move, don't you agree? Well, at least this piece .. ..... (tm John Fowler) is selling at low prices, as we learned Boris
