Fyo, Re:"It's a pleasure to see the world your Intel-rosey-glasses again - almost as much fun as Niceguys same ;-)"

Thanks for the playful jab, but I agree with everything you said. I'm surprised I came across as with rosy glasses, since we seem to agree on the same things (but perhaps from a different angle).

fyodor - You wrote We agree that P4 performance surpasses Athlon performance (2GHz P4 vs 1.4GHz Tbird), but if the market price was determined based solely on performance, the P4 would be dead in the water. Remember, P4 die size is almost twice that of Tbird.
True, the P4 is almost twice the size of the Tbird - but let's face it - the 2 GHz P4 sells for five times what the 1.4 GHz Tbird sells for.
That more than makes up for the die size disadvantage - wouldn't you say?
