Can I call upon your help if I would find it too difficult :-))
re: the Q3NV15 benchmark.
I kinda figured that you have used a benchmark and know I know which one.
And I did a comparison of p4 (more data points) vs athlon.

At 1st glance what you said is correct that is the charts are alamost straight and there seems to be a clearly defined pattern.
It seems that NW is pretty much a parallel shift of willimate function and slightly better than athlon but, note, at the last points the NW and athlon are parallel. Now you did say that there is a reason for - new bios - and hence should not be counted. I said that the outliers make results inconclusive.
In any case, I see the point that you are making but benchmark does not illustrate superiority of NW conclusively , IMHO

Fyodor_, "Qf is modelhertz"

Arbitrary variable scaling leads to arbitrary projections,
which in turn leads to arbitrary conclusions.

"and add a logarithmic fit (regression analysis) for both AthlonXP and Northwood."

Did you ever pay attention to my exchange with pgerassi?

"the almost certainly inaccurate 2100+ score"
What is almost certainly wrong is the score at 2000QHz,
it should be 61.5. The rest of scores are just fine.

Finally, why did you skip NW at 2666, 2533, and 2400 MHz?
They are quite educational.
