Albert, Intel has appended letters to the end of clock speeds before. Mendocino was called Celeron 300A, Coppermine was called Pentium III 600E/EB, etc. This is to differentiate between two different cores running at the same speed but exhibiting different performance characteristics. Faster speeds of Mendocino and Coppermine got rid of the suffix. But in any case, the number has always referred to the clock speed. This is nowhere near the arbitrary "QuantiSpeed" nonsense, and you know it. So stop trying to call Intel's scheme "model numbers," because you know AMD's so-called "model numbers" are designed to look like actual clock speeds. Tenchusatsu

Edit, this is like Ten's previous post but mine has a URL from the past. ;-) Albert, P4 would come in as 2GHz, 2.0A, 2.0B ... 2.0Z, 2.0AB variety. Sorta like model numbers.... <gggggg> Well, yeah, it's to differentiate two different processors that have the same clock speed. Intel did the same thing with Celeron when they introduced the version with the integrated 128K L2 cache. The Celeron 300A was the one with the integrated 128K L2 cache. Remember? review-zone.com
