John Re... believe the reason for all this is that they will be the new Durons and their MHz will be compared to P4 Celerons. This eliminates the need to explain a big increase in IPC -- they are just being compared against much-slower-than-Northwood Celeron P4s.<<<<<<

Could be. I had read on AMDZONE or RWT that Barton was going to include some Hammer optimizations, which was the reason for the increase.

Petz,

If 2 processors have the same QS ratings, say 2400, they should deliver roughly the same performance. If they don't, AMD will be opening itself to such an attack that the credibility of QS would collapse, and Barton would be advertised by its clock speed, not QS ratings by everybody selling it, which would be a blow AMD could never recover, and it would even threaten Hammer.
