Re: Prescott was too hot and too expensive, performance wasn't the issue (or the sales problems would have manifested themselves years earlier).

Is this supposed to be a joke or what? Performance NOT an issue? LOL! You need to get read a few Athlon 64 reviews and visit a few message boards. Apparently you lead a sheltered life if you believe performance has little or nothing to do with AMD's sales.

Prescott was the same price as equally clocked Northwood.

With the price changes, Intel's newer Prescott chips match the Northwood chips in price.
