Re: Some tidbits Interesting (if englishish) link! Looks like the Intel spinmeisters are getting frustrated that people aren't lining up to buy empty-mhz P4s. The screaming and table pounding in the conference rooms at Intel must be getting pretty intense. I can only imagine the screeching and threatening Compaq/HP, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. are having to put up with right now. Intel was absolutely certain that by shipping a chip with crappy performance, but really high mhz, they'd have put AMD out of business by now. And they'd have a cost advantage over everyone else in the industry since the rest of the industry would be paying a 5% Rambus tax, while their secret deal exempted them from paying royalties. If Intel spent half as much time developing products as they do trying to screw their customers with swindles like Rambus and low performance / high mhz chips, they'd be doing a lot better. documents were passed on by Intel, in which one critically lights up the performance Rating of AMD.... "MHz is the facts appropriate and uniform measured variable for the processor achievement." The fact that this does not correspond by any means to the truth proved already some processor comparisons, among other things our recently published Review of the fastest possible platforms. As follows from this, the performance Rating of AMD can momentarily the achievement of the Athlon XP compared with a Pentium 4 well again-reflect and unaquainted buyers in the evaluation of the processor speed be actually helpful. Because the MHz number cannot do this, against Intels statement, at least in the momentary situation. On the other hand a PR Rating is a wobbly affair and can easily for manipulation be abused, but as long as AMD does not do this, no reason actually exists to proceed against it for Intel.
