JC, sorry, I was responding to what you said here: >>If you ran a 1GHz Tbird at 4GHz, it would run much less >>than 4x as fast as a 1GHz Tbird. So a Hammer 4000+ would >>not be 4x the performance of the 1GHz Tbird. What I said was: >>A 4Ghz Athlon with integrated memory controller PC2700 >>DDR and 512K cache, prefetch and some other improvements >>might approach 4x the speed of a 1Ghz Athlon. What you are saying is that AMD estimates how bottlenecked ( and slow ) a 4Ghz TBird with 200Mhz would be and basically says the Hammer will be as fast as that. Now that I type it out loud I will agree with you. Thanks p.s. Now the 4000+ does not sound as impressive.
