<font color=blue>Love this part ``AMD is to be congratulated for recognizing that performance gains are possible with creative architecture rather than through raw clock speed increases alone,'' said John Yacono, Director of the CRN Test Center. ``Increasing processor frequency is not really innovative; the real trick is improving processor architecture so you get the most out of every clock tick, which is what AMD has done. I'm always amazed at how much change and innovation the Test Center sees from one Ultimate PC event to the next, and this demo pushed the bar that much further.''

Pravin: "CRN's Ultimate PC." Once again the Athlon is bestowed another in a long list of awards stretching over several years for its overall outstanding technology...yet the Athlon is shut out of the major channels of distribution in North America...I don't need to have a major in anti-trust economics to conclude that "competition" is not the reason for the Athlon's absence in NA channels...In some ways, it makes me think that the MSFT anti-trust challenge is small change in comparison to what might be going on here!!!
