Blow Hard Dan - Re: "Athlon4 is already available at 1.2GHZ, and will be available at 1.4GHZ very soon.
Athlon4 has much higher IPC than coppermine and will probably maintain most of that lead unless there is a lot more to tualatin than has so far even been hinted at.
Athlon4 has a point to point MP bus that, while it seems to have delayed the release of the systems for a year, is also a more efficient architecture for SMP configurations - and that efficiency has been showing up in real world tests:"
If the AThWiper4US is so friggin' good, why can AMD only get CrackServer and Jack-in-the-BOXX to sell the junker?

Why has the price plummeted from $266 at intro 2 weeks ago to $182 today ?

Blow Hard Dan - Re: "Take a good look at the performance numbers."
Ummmm....apparently Compaq did and IBM did and Dell did and Gateway did and HP did and SGI did and NEC did and Fujitsu did and Sony did...and they all decided to stick with Intel-based servers.

Too bad the reality of the situation doesn't fit your fairytale !
