Tony,

LOL! This guy was one of the biggest opponents of the Pentium 4 when it launched. He wrote the most damning article about the micro-architecture, criticizing just about every aspect. You should really read one of the first articles - it might just floor you to compare it with his recent "change of opinion" (you may have to copy-paste the link. The space before the '4' doesn't let the link launch to the correct anchor).

The irony is: the only thing Intel has done to the Pentium 4 is double the cache, crank up the frequency, and give it a process shrink. The micro-architecture hasn't changed one bit.

Mike Magee links to an article by Darek Mihocka President and Founder, Emulators Inc., who really tears up AMD pretty bad. He also says he recommended AXP over P4 last October, but predicted P4 would eventually take over:

Wow... that's an amazing article. This guy has really been tearing at the guts of the systems and throwing everything including the kitchen sink at them...

But yes, it's true. When I declared on April 1 that the Pentium 4 beat AMD and got my approval, I wasn't kidding at all. But the irony is just too funny. What better time than April Fool's Day than for Intel to finally get the last laugh against AMD by launching the 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 processor, a sledgehammer of an upgrade over their earlier 2.0 and 2.2 GHz parts?

And by the way..... There's PLENTY of them....
