> Have to disagree with you there. The high cost and low > performance of P4 makes it a sensible choice mostly for morons. Only because there's realistic competition out there. The product is still faster than what they had previously, in most cases by a fairly large amount. And it's totally historically normal for new cores from Intel to have astoundingly large die areas. The P4, in fact, is rather conservative in this regard. Mind you, I don't think the P4 as-is is competitive. But I don't think it is a disaster, at least once you ignore aspects of competition. > AMD isn't lying. Their rhetoric is far more honest than the competition. Just because somebody else lies more than you do doesn't mean that you're not a liar.
