He is not at all disappointed, or burnt out. Of course he is. As far as he's concerned, for his software, the P4 2GHz is no better than the PIII 1GHz. The same is true for all Linux / FreeBSD / OpenBSD / NetBSD users, which is something that I would be concerned about if I were Intel. However, if he buys an AMD processor instead, he sees 50% higher performance for less price. This is INTC's problem, and INTC having a good compiler and skewed benchmarks does squat to change that. The situations even more underwater when it comes to Itanic. Neil.
