Anandtech and Tom's Hardware review the recent Athlon XP 2100+. Their results are fairly flattering. anandtech.com tomshardware.com Kudos to Anand for the scalability graphs. I find them quite interesting, since on a Mhz-Mhz scale, the Athlon would be outscaling the Pentium 4. As it is, the model numbers scale closely with Intel's megahertz. I have to say I'm surprised. Perhaps it's because the front side bus is getting saturated in terms of transaction requests. Perhaps the lower latency on a 533MHz FSB will improve Pentium 4 scalability. Given the contenders in the Tom's Hardware review, he should have been the one to include such graphs. However, it seems his site is a lot less imaginative these days. wbmw

Ali, <For notebooks, as an example, there is review of few P-III- 1GHz machines ... where Business Winstone 2001 ranges from 23.7 to 30.4.> All that due to the graphics, huh? The differences in memory and other components had nothing to do with it? If AMD wants to keep up the credibility with "QuantiSpeed," they'll have to marry their fastest CPUs with the best components. Excuses like "But the graphics held it back!" are not going to fly well with the consumer. Tenchusatsu
