Wanna, You've got some good points in there. One thing that I found curious was that above Model 2600, each 100Modelhurtz increase takes 133MHz now. Before they gave a 100 Modelhurtz improvement for 66 MHz jumps... I wonder what that means for Hammers true Gigahertz numbers at launch. Speculation had it at 2.0 GHz for a 3400+ Modelhurtz rating. stak tomshardware.com AMD Athlon XP 2600+ 2133 MHz 2600 AMD Athlon XP 2700+ 2266 MHz 2700 AMD Athlon XP 2800+ 2400 MHz 2800 AMD Athlon XP 2900+ 2533 MHz 2900 AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 2666 MHz 3000 AMD Athlon XP 3100+ 2800 MHz 3100

Re: The synthetic tests seem to go both ways, depending on whether Generally, Athlon wins benchmarks that weren't carefully optimized for P4, and P4 wins benchmarks that were created primarily to make P4 look good. If you'd ever heard of the term "double-blind", you'd understand why this is significant. This is AMD's old design on its bulk silicon process. AMD is a few months away from shipping a new design, with an extended pipeline, 64-bit capability, on a faster SOI process. Intel has nothing to look forward to but symmetrical multithreading and the ridiculous Itanic.

Re: the Athlon hardly deserves the model number That doesn't seem to be the conclusion that your bosses came to: Intel readies huge Pentium 4 price cuts Notebooks, mobiles, servers By Mike Magee: Wednesday 21 August 2002, 08:08 AS WE'VE NOTED, Intel is readying a widespread cut in prices. It told its OEM partners about those details in a July roadmap we saw at the time, and now it has notified its resellers too. Journalists will be the last to know. It was ever thus.
