copied. AMD’s solution is one that has been promising since it’s introduction. The Athlon processor not only outperforms everything Intel can offer in almost all situations, but the Athlon is also selling for extremely low prices. The flagship Athlon 1.4GHz processor can be found for under $180 while Intel’s Pentium 4 1.7GHz processor will set you back over $300. The only problem AMD has really had with acceptance of their Athlon processor is platform reliability and it appears as if NVIDIA may be the one to solve that issue very soon. The Pentium 4 processor has been Intel’s answer to the very successful Athlon. Although capable to run at very high clock speeds, the processor’s NetBurst architecture has not even been slightly tapped by currently available clock frequencies. The unfortunate result of this is that the real world performance of today’s Pentium 4 systems is below that of what AMD can offer. When you combine lower performance with a higher price, you can easily see why AMD has picked up a lot of market share recently.
