bmw hmmm, for a dishonest company like amd it seems to be way to honest especially since honest intel marketed non-existing pIII-1.13GHz chip for long time re: And this is with their brand new Athlon XP 2100+ against Intel's 2.2GHz Pentium 4. Intel launches the 2.4GHz Pentium 4 in April. your beef with model numbers was that they maybe confused for intel freq and yet you are comparing 2.2Ghz vs only 2100+ And I bet that when hammer would be out you'll skip model numbers and go back comparing frequencies. After all, before NW the performance was pretty much irrelevant to you. Can not make up your mind?

Re: benchmarks show Intel is ahead Typical, you show a link to a page with one benchmark where Intel does OK, but don't show the link to 8 bencmarks where P4 Northwood at 2.2GHZ often loses badly to Athlon 2100+. How about the 24% improvement Athlon 2100+ shows over P4 Northwood 2.2GHZ on business applications? athlonxp.amd.com Remember that with Athlon, you just install your software and get to work, since Athlon runs almost any software well. With the fussy P4, you have to hunt down a bunch of patches and version updates - some of which may harm your system's stability - in order to get performance that's competitive with Athlon.
