<Your bubble can't stand against the facts I pointed out. Get lost, Intel-kid. And never try again to make me. You have no chance> Funny how you have to keep proclaiming to the whole world that what you say are nothing but facts, instead of the dumb opinions that they truly are. Funny how you have to keep reminding me how so mature you are by using the kind of remarks that I outgrew back in high school. Funny how your proclamation of "victory" sounds so much like Saddam Hussein's. Meanwhile, you offer no logical proof that Xeon's full-speed L2 cache is no better than Pentium II's half-speed L2 cache at the tasks that the Xeon was meant to perform, like server transactions and other multiprocessing tasks. All you show are a few benchmarks from Herr Uberclockermeister as your "proof," benchmarks which aren't really designed to do the things that a Xeon was meant to do. You are also desperately babbling in an attempt to reject the benchmarks that Paul just posted several messages back. Then you even stick in a few outlandish statements like "K7 is coming with up to 8MB of VERY AFFORDABLE L2 off-the-shelf cache" and "No matter how much money Intel has, industry will resist Intel's strategy and favor AMD's" and try to pass them off as facts. Please, Ali Babble, please show me those benchmarks showing that K7 servers are going to be faster than Xeon servers. Please show me that a theoretical four-way Pentium II configuration is just as good as a four-way Xeon configuration. Please don't bother to prove that Microsoft Word runs no faster on a Xeon than on a Pentium II, since this assumes that people will buy the Xeon just to run a word processor (Gateway's model notwithstanding). And most importantly, please tell me that AMD is a sound long-term investment. Crying about supposed conspiracies isn't going to help your argument at all, nor will talking down to me like some five-year-old, nor will Saddam-like proclamations of victory. Guess Mary Clueny was right in calling you the "insufferable Ali Chen." Tenchusatsu
