Re:"p4 benchmarks are in public domain and as such can be used by amd." Abolutely wrong, Dumbert. AMD generates its very own P4 benchmarks that just happen to be less than public benchmarks.

Albert, the most resounding proof that AMD's model numbers are meant to be compared to Pentium 4 clock speeds come from the mouth of Jerry Sanders himself. When asked about Intel's goal of 10 GHz, the guy said, "We'll have a model 10,000 out by the time they reach 10 GHz." Tenchusatsu

albert, Re: "Amd model numbers is how they label their chips. Once the labeling is over it is only natural to compare your product with competition. Even if model numbers would be derived, and they are not, from p4 benchmarking p4 benchmarks are in public domain and as such can be used by amd." Explain to me why a 1.2GHz Athlon 4 is called 1.2GHz, but a 1.3GHz Athlon 4 is called 1500+. Then explain to me why a 1.33GHz Athlon XP with 266MHz front side bus can also be called 1500+, when the 1.3GHz Athlon 4 is 33MHz less, and uses only a 200MHz front side bus. If you don't want to discuss the desktop part, then the 1.33GHz Athlon MP will work just fine. The reason why ask is because I think that your argument about AMD basing QuantiSpeed on their older cores is bogus, and there is plenty of evidence to support this. AMD flat out lies when they say otherwise, and it strikes me as funny and ironic that you take their word for it, but if it were Intel saying something like that, you would be raising Holy Hell. wbmw
