Dan, Re: "Hammer 3400 is planned to be 35% faster than Athlon XP 2800+ in "normalized performance" according to AMD's past presentations." The "presentations" that you use for proof have microscopic bar graphs with ambiguously labeled axis. There has been nothing explicitly revealed about Hammer's performance, yet AMDroids like yourself continue to propagate tall tales of 1400 SpecInt scores. What a joke. AMD better prepare a "whopper" at their analyst conference tomorrow, or they will be in "big trouble". At the rate they've been going, the analysts should eat them alive. wbmw

Dan, re: "Hammer 3400 is planned to be 35% faster than Athlon XP 2800+ in "normalized performance" according to AMD's past presentations." Is "normalized performance" relative to a TBird? I would rather the performance standard simply be performance on a set of benchmarks, periodically refreshed as software and uses evolve. At present both model and MHz values overstate performance (ie. they both increase faster than actual performance) and of the two MHz is closer to providing a measure of the relative performance change when considering two speeds of the same processor. -PT
