RE:"Quantispeed, on the other hand, is a half a$$ed way of making up for poor marketing on AMD's part. Instead of dispelling the notion that megahertz alone does not equal performance, AMD offers the end user a new number, which doesn't have a concrete way of being measured, and which has no direct comparison to other micro-architectures, allowing the number to be chosen quite arbitrarily"

Ok smart guy. If you were Intel and you're best chip ran 500 Mhz less than a AMD just how would you market that?

Less is more? Gimmie "more" anytime. Let "less" try to figure a way to market it.

wbmw, if the P3 at 1.4 is way faster than most higher clocked P4s then AMD's claims that the P4 has devalued the Mhz will be validated by Intel itself.

wanna,

This is similiar to previous failed attempts at PR, or performance ratings. Both Cyrix and AMD. Of course, when AMD started shipping the K6, AMD forgot about PR.

As I have stated ad nauseam...

History repeats itself
