Re: "EP, re:<when was the last time AMD was 100mhz behind> Ever heard of ratios? " John, let's not revise history. When AMD announced their 233/200/166mhz K6, Intel was shipping 200mhz PPros and 233mhz Pentiums. So AMD was even with Intel. When Intel announced their Pentium II Intel gained a 28.57% speed advantage. intel.com Today AMD has a 350mhz K6 and Intel has a 450Mhz Pentium II. That's also 28.57% speed advantage for Intel. AMD has gone from dead even to 28.57% behind in the speed game. That's not closing the gap, that widening the gap. Dead even to 100 mhz behind. EP
