dbf, re: Well, when all the toes have been shot off, I guess its time to go for the foot. It's a high risk strategy to deceive the consumer. The best case for AMD is that the consumer will be confused, and a confused consumer doesn't remove the credit card from the wallet. The worst case is that he will think AMD is being dishonest. And that could really hurt the brand, forever. John

Re:"What I find amusing is that even if they go forward, it appears AMD itself only looks for a 200 MHZ "adder" (e.g. labeling their 1.4 MHz as a Model 1600)." This will allow AMD to introduce new products even though they can not actually increase clock speed. Just introduce a Model 1800 when they find a new benchmark for those narrow cobblestone streets. All that is required is some marking paint and a BIOS change. None of that messy increasing speed work required.
