jcholewa,

Àlbert, how about this scenario

amd: clock is slower but performance is better?
whoever: prove it
amd: third party benchmarks
whoever: intel benchmarks show different
amd: both intel and amd bias their benchmarks for marketing. but true third party results blah blah blah 3D blah blah blah multimedia blah blah blah supports Extended Professional 3DNow! *and* Intel's 3DNow! clone technology blah blah blah blah even beats the G4 at equal clock blah blah multiprocessor for the masses blah blah we don't cripple our processors and then boost the gigahertz to deceive the marketplace blah blah blah amd doesn't recall multiple times a year blah blah pheer my 31337 pr skillz!
whoever: waaaaitaminute.... you DO have pr skills! you can't be an amd employee! who are you really?
ruiner: damn, you found me out!


Man, if AMD marketing spent half the time and neurons on the perceived problem that you guys, and the TMF AMD thread do...maybe they have and gave up.

re: pr skills!
by pr I meant performance rating rather than public relations
re: third party benchmarks
[amd] been there , done that :-)) few years back at the good ol' times of pr (rating) intel simply shipped their custom benchmarks to all 3rd parties.

ps What exactly does it mean beats the G4? Commercial is for retail and should be simple something like:
2 kids, 1 is telling about advantages/superiority of intel while another one is playing quake and agreeing with everything. 1st kid asks if he can try the game and 2nd would say something like "you can use my intel system" and points toward the closet.
Then amd logo and nothing else
