wanna_bmw - Intel has clearly and unambiguously taken the performance lead away from AMD now.

Nearly every one of the testing sites has reported this exact same conclusion.
One thing I find interesting is that all these testing sites had been pre-prepped with 2.53 GHz Pentium 4s and i850E motherboards well ahead of time to get their testing done - and none of them leaked their results.
I should think, based on past behavior, that they would have gleefully leaked the results early had a new Athlon processor been released which trounced available Intel processors.
I guess Jim McMannis was right - AMD sat on their hands and frittered away their lead.
Whadda shame.
Monica

The only thing that concerns me is the absence of 1066MHz RDRAM, something that every reviewer so far has failed to get their hands on. I guess it's a feather in Intel's cap for the future, but I'm sure it would definitely tilt a few more benchmarks at this point.

I am not sure this is significant, but I note that Dell, which has the new 2.53, does not offer the new rambus as an option.
