You guys have all fallen for the skewed benchmarks distributed by Intel. A 9 pipeline processor, like Athlon, is generally 50% faster than a 6 pipeline processor, like P4 - it's what you'd expect, theoretically, and it's what we've seen in general use.

I love it... when the K7 is ahead in benchmarks, it's a major paradigm shift... but when Intel is ahead in the benchmarks, "Intel's cooking the tests."

It's seems more than a little hypocritical to me...

Of course, it's not unexpected... when Intel meets or beats earnings they're "cooking the books" and when AMD loses money they're somehow "eating Intel's lunch."

All I see is blind cheerleading... no analysis...

Dan, a 2.53 GHz processor, like Pentium 4, is generally 41% faster than a 1.8 GHz processor, like Athlon - it's what you'd expect, theoretically, and it's what we've seen in general use.

Sure, you can play games with benchmarks, but, in general, in real world use, 2.53 GHz processes data 41% faster than 1.8 GHz, at any given number of "pipelines."
