Albert, <let me refer you to your(I think) earlier point about p4 running at 4GHz. So what exactly is real?> Even the 4.0 GHz number would be more real than AMD's "quantispeed" number, because part of the P4 really does run at 4.0 GHz. <Is MIPs a better measure? It is semi-real. Would intel agree to quote MIPs along with their GHz advantage?> Even MIPS ratings can be misused. Apple used the theoretical MIPS rating of their G4 processor to call it "supercomputer-on-a-chip." Of course, by the same standard, my Sony Playstation 2 should be considered a "supercomputer-in-a-box." Of course, I would have less of a problem if AMD actually used theoretical MIPS as a basis for their "quantispeed" ratings. At least this figure is based both off of clock speed and microarchitecture, two things that you just can't fake. Tenchusatsu
