If it is, do you think AMD will be telling the public not to use Pentium 4 as a basis of comparison? Hint hint, winky winky ... But since the t-bird has higher IPC then a P4 if they compare it against a P4 rather then a t-bird the public will think that AMDs new chips are slower then they really are. Tim

"If it is, do you think AMD will be telling the public not to use Pentium 4 as a basis of comparison? Hint hint, winky winky ..." I am sure that AMD won't be upset if that were to occur. But they have a bigger problem in trying to differentiate the Palomino (urrr, Athlon XP) from a plain ol' Athlon. The slowest XP is at 1.33GHz and the fastest Athlon is 1.4GHz, yet AMD wants to sell the 1.33GHz XP for more money. As a result, it needs to have a bigger "number".
