Actually, I figured out why AMD isn't admitting that their model numbers correspond to a Pentium 4. It's because AMD WON'T adjust their "QuantiSpeed" ratings if the IPC of P4 improves. Instead, they'll just stick to their bogus argument that "QuantiSpeed" was, is, and always will be a comparison to older Athlons. So why does everybody (except me) think a Hammer 3400+ is such a threat? By the above reasoning it might match a P4 3GHz, but then again it might not even do that. EP

Ten amd never denied that it is tied to p4. Basing on p4 would produce a lot of unneeded headache without benefit because intel can always find (or create) a benchmark that would favor intel - they are different chips. The way they do it is to establish one point that can be easily defended and after that they compare it to their own chips. After that intel does not have a ground for argument because QS becomes simply a label. The tricky part is a revision point because intel marketing might be getting ready for that. Still amd needs to defend one point per revision which saves a lot of headaches. Regards -Albert
