The discussion on page 3 of the QuantiSpeed fraud is interesting. tech-review.com Sixth has got the be the speed rating crap. AMD feels they need to cheat on their speed ratings (with this 1600+, or 1800+ stuff) used to designate NOT what the Pentium4 equivalent is, rather the speed equivalent if the new XP chips were just thunderbirds. Of course, they've duped everyone into thinking it's a P4 equivalent, and that's what they needed. I guess AMD still can't fathom why people buy Intel over their product, so they put up these speed ratings. I thought AMD was confident in their product.. huh. Why do I feel we've gone back to the childish days of the Pentium Replacement Cyrix's and AMD's. Either AMD needs to grow up and realize they don't have 2ghz chips yet, or start making real chips that run at an actual 2ghz. And I might add that using 'XP' to denote their latest processor is very, very bitch.. I mean if you're going to try to ride off of someone else’s success (since AMD clearly needs it) why of all people did you choose Microsoft.. geez.
