John,

Good points about about why OEMs don't want their machine to be tested for performance.

I disagree about the second part.

As far as retail business (US) AMD lost most of it before QuantiSpeed was introduced. Intel has ability to apply pressure to achieve certain goals (US market share), but it is like a in a balloon, the air (AMD processors) flow elsewhere. The only thing that would let Intel apply pressure everywhere at the same time is if Intel opens a performance gap on AMD.

Joe

John
agree on both counts.
I am not sure about retail though. Few people asked f-center why don't they carry athlon xp to which they replied that they do but they are usually sold out the same day as delivered. Unless there is huge yield problem and I do not have indication of such that sounds like a success of model numbers
