>I can already predict that at least one person will bring up the fact that the Palomino core has scaled to within 15% of the top speed that Intel was able to achieve with Willamette, and this will then give them the impression that AMD can come within 15% of the clock speed of Northwood, thus giving them 2.6GHz by the end of the year - even without SOI.< Such an assertion would be absurd. Intel switched to copper along with doing a shrink to 0.13-microns. Barton might come within 15% of Northwood's peak speed grade, but Thoroughbred would be lucky to come within 25%

bmw re: "the Droids will drool all over themselves next week when Anand and all the cheerleader sites publish their benchmarks of the latest 0.18 micron PaloMEatHead - QuantEnronSpeed 2100+. Duh...it ain't 0.13 and it ain't SOI !!" talking about constructive criticism (your words), you found enough sense in the above to continue the discussion re: AMDroids are still going under the assumption that AMD is using true even is true, I recall that few years back smaller gate length was a sign of intel's process technology superiority (Yousef and many more). Why don't we just get out and say it honestly - if it is different from intel then intels is superior no matter what the differences are. Regards -Albert
