Re: "That means Geode is clock for clock slower than Pentium 4. But it only runs at 500MHz." >> And this is a surprise? Geode is an in order design. It has but a small fraction of the transistors that a P4 has. What are people not getting here? Geode performs like a Pentium 4 @ 450MHz, and dissipates 3-5W TDP. Atom performs like a Pentium M @ 1200MHz (similar to Pentium 4 at 2400MHz), and dissipates 2-4W of power. Are you somehow unaware that my post was in response to Pete's wild claims about Geode competitiveness, or do you have Pete on ignore? P.S. agree with your PM.
