John re: It's pathetic. that is not called for. Intel/Intalabees employ double standards far more often than amd. We have heard that floating point is more important than integer and integer is more important than floating from the same people depending on how intel processor behaves at the time. When athlon was at higher frequency than pIII then it was actually running faster than pIII at lower frequency but even then it was wrong to equate frequency with performance. re: Typical Droid denial, can't get the MHz, reinvent the MHz. There was a lot of discussion during the last few years on the topic of equating performance with frequency. As usual, intel/intelabees were on MHz side until athlon went ahead of pIII. The song changed for a while until p4 appeared. Talking of double standard and pathetic here Regards -Albert

John... RE:"can't get the MHz, reinvent the MHz." Ever heard of the Kobiashi Maru? Jim Intel have been known to reinvent a few benchmarks you know...

John, Re: "Typical Droid denial, can't get the MHz, reinvent the MHz. It's pathetic" Very pathetic ... AMD is late with their .13um process and there has been discussion about whether AMD is already using .13um FETs coupled with their .18um interconnect on present products. This could mean that when AMD .13um does ever arrive, it won't boost MHz as much as is needed. This could be the real reason that AMD is going to push this MegaHurtz "scheme". The handwriting is on the wall ... AMD ASPs will have to be 25% less than same MHz INTC processors. The upper end (>2GHz) will be INTC domain for the next year. Make It So, Yousef
