RE:"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."

Intel knows what they are doing. They control the benchmarks and go out of their way to get these sites a chip. Strings attached, of course.

RE:"I guess Jim McMannis was right - AMD sat on their hands and frittered away their lead."

I see you are coming around...<G>

The P4 just scales so well, that's all. I guess clockspeed can make up for a lot of stuff.

Unfortuneately, in this market, a little more MHz is just like spitting a little harder into the wind.
