BMW, Re: "I think that this is also dawning on the AMDroids, since they can't be entirely blind to AMD's mistakes." Tell that to Albert's "seeing-eye dog" ... <ggg> Make It So, Yousef

Re: AMD's model numbers are not sufficient for AMD to use They resulted in AMD's ASPs going up by about 50%, and Intel's ASPs going down by about 20%. That might not be sufficient for you, but I'll take it with a smile. You know, maybe if Intel did a little less whining about AMD labeling their chips according to the chip's performance, and instead put a little effort into shipping better performing systems, this wouldn't be such a problem for Intel.

Re: They require updates to every change in micro-architecture that AMD or Intel does Nope, the numbers AMD uses are a good indicator of general performance relative to other chips on the market - which is as good as it gets for one number indicators. AMD's model numbers are a much, much, more accurate indicator of performance than flacid P4 mhz. Tell me something, Wanna_bmw, do you think that a BMW's engine should be compared to engines in other cars by displacement (mhz) or horsepower (AMD model numbers)? Do you think it would be honest for General motors to pay a car magazine to put out a strongly editorial article condeming BMW for rating their car's engines by their horsepower when competing Ford and Chevy sedans have larger displacement engines?
