Windsock, >

Everyone including Intel is laughing over the "AMD: We don't suck as bad as you think campaign" that was launched with QuantiSpeed.


Check out this AMD release on the new Mobile AMD Athlon™ 4 Processor 1500+.

The new mobile processor, featuring QuantiSpeed™ architecture and AMD PowerNow!™ technology

Now QuantiSpeed is an architecture! How can a model naming scheme, whose purpose is to confuse and mislead the customer, be an architecture? Anyone, individual customer or company, that can't see through this growing AMD charade is blind as a bat.

Oh by the way, what happened to Cyrix when they tried the PR campaign to mask their MHz problem?

They did ok for awhile but eventually the performance gap was too great. They let the PR ratings become tto optimistic and even with those optimistic ratings they where behind on mhz vs. rating.

Windsock,

I, too, have commented regarding this. Both AMD and Cyrix had their PR ratings. It failed.
