Pravin, AMD really made Intel run scared. Scared enough to throw away another ten billion in pre-emptive price cust. I bet the DOJ is salivating at such archetypical monopoly actions. And yet the Intel price jumped?, after sober thought it will fall again as market sees that lower prices = lower margins even as numbers grow.

FYI: "PII would have to run at 600 MHz to achieve the same fractal rate."

heise.de

"With 35 million iterations, meaning 10 clocks per iteration,
the K6-2 with 3DNow! produced the fractals five times
faster than with its FPU. Even though the Pentium-II has
a significantly more efficient FPU, it does not stand a
chance against these numbers. It would have to run at
600 MHz to achieve the same fractal rate."
