> What exactly does it mean beats the G4?

The G4 is the Apple PowerMac processor. The Thunderbird beats it on a clock for clock basis in several areas. But there is a strong public image that the G4 is faster per clock by a tremendous margin compared to any Intel processor.

albert, yet *another* great marketing idea

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

The beauty of this is that your typical consumer will seek out a "computer geek DIY'er" to find out if the AMD ad is true. And 2 out of 3 times the answer will be, YES.
