Amy J,

okay, so AMD scored one point on the marketing name game. How's the performance though? 29% less?

Here is what Anand has to say:
While there was some debate as to which was faster, the Pentium 4 2.0GHz or Athlon-C 1.4GHz, the Athlon XP clearly establishes a performance lead over the competing Pentium 4 solutions. At 1.53GHz, the Athlon XP is able to consistently outperform the Pentium 4

from what I understand rating is conservative relative to p4 chips. That is athlon xp 1800+ outperforms p4-1.8GHz by a significant margin. In fact, as Joe pointed out, margin is so great that athlon xp 1800+ outperforms p4-2GHz.
