Tim: In other words you think AMD should have the model numbers have no relationship whatsoever with either actual mhz or even performance? Like "the AMD model 4 CPU", or "the new AMD Model 5500"? Yes, that's about the gist of it. The only thing that needs to be possible is to see the relative performance within a single line of products. Extending this so it fits for the "value" product would be nice (but not a necessity). E.g.: Athlon Model 5500 Athlon Model 5300 Athlon Model 5100 Duron Model 4900 Duron Model 4700 Customers need to be able to tell (easily) which AMD CPU is better, but there's no need for a direct comparison in the model number with Intel CPUs. These cross-platform comparisons should be done with benchmarks (preferably of Real World programs). JMHO, -fyo
