"Conclusion: P4/2533 Leads In All Tests The results of this test don't leave much room for doubt, while also not offering a lot of surprise. In all 25 benchmark disciplines, the Intel Pentium 4/2533 is well ahead of the AMD Athlon XP 2100+. Together with 533 MHz RDRAM, the P4 gains accordingly in performance through an FSB clock that has been increased from 100 MHz to 133 MHz. The overclocking benchmarks show how far the processors can be pushed. Not even an overclocked AMD Athlon XP 2100+ with a water-cooling system can offer serious competition for the tuned Pentium 4/2800. Here, it should be noted that the P4/2533 ran stably at 2800 MHz with a standard CPU cooler. Times are getting tougher for AMD if they want to stay on top of things. The new Thoroughbred core needs to be released soon and then we need to see some hefty clock speed to keep up with Intel's Pentium 4. " tomshardware.com

56% of the AnandTech Members, who offered their system configuration information, to use AMD processors. That is a moral victory for Intel. In prior polls, Anand's respondants were much, much higher in AMD-CPUs.

"One comment about all AMD Athlon XP CPUs: compared to Intel's models, the AMD processors prove to be relatively weak because they lack enhancements. " tomshardware.com So much for that small die size bragging right that Mr. Jerry Sanders loves to spew - it didn't bring him profits and it loses him the performance crown. Maybe it is a good thing that Mr. Sanders is now out to pasture. Monica

"What is worrisome about the course Intel is now sailing (if you’re an AMD fan) is that Intel is driving home the .13m advantage down on AMD like a stake in the heart of Dracula. The disparity in performance is growing larger and AMD is still weeks (months?) away from getting out their own .13m part. What’s worse; again, talking to the AMD fans, Intel has now introduced their new motherboard platform to take Pentium 4 to the next level of performance. ...Execution, execution, execution. One of the few things that each of us knows (or eventually learns) about life is that those who can successfully execute their respective plans, typically meet or exceed their goals. Intel has been executing perfectly since they introduced Pentium 4. Those in the media who got samples of Willamette based Pentium 4’s were not always happy with the performance of the early P4’s compared to their Athlon counterparts, but Intel never failed to execute on a launch and only deviated from their roadmap when they introduced parts earlier than expected. ...Well, I can’t give Intel more credit. They are executing like champions and bring us better and faster processors. They are now clearly out in front of AMD in nearly every category. With the introduction of Tehama, Intel is now in the driver’s seat of the CPU wars. They had quite a lead when they introduced the 2.40GHz Northwood but now they are "piling on" their advantages by not only increasing speeds again but also by increasing their FSB speeds. If AMD is not careful, Intel will simply run away from them through sheer processor speeds. Yes, AMD is doing more operations per cycle but Intel is ramming CPU speed down their throats. " simhq.com
