okay - you lost me there? When did he compare the P4.
I think the gist of his post is the reported intentions of Intel not to release Tualatin as a desktop processor. Still waiting to see if this is true or not.
I think that is quite relevent in a Athlon v.s. Tualatin thread since one of those processors exists and you can buy it mainstream. The other is currently doing engineering rounds and expensive cameos in Tokyo.

oh - right - thanks for the clarification. I'd mistakenly assumed he might respond to the post he was talking about rather than some other person's post on the bottom of the list!

Well maybe it is in some apps... But people gotta realize something that the tbird is 1 year old and the Tualatin isn't even released yet.
Almost like comparing apples to oranges, and 1 year for CPU's is almost a half decade in the big picture compared to other products
Would you ever put a Porsche 911 turbo from 95 against one from today.... no you wont. So lets just wait and see what happens and ignore the tbird and intel benchmarks until the A4 is in mainstream
If the Tualatin is not going to be released as a desktop system, why does ASUS already have a board for it? Maybe this is an indication of the possibility of desktop release.
The inquirer reported that Tualation was not going to be released as a desktop cpu - server and mobile only. As you say, this is not consistent with the motherboard manufacturers, but then who knows? Intel seem to be keeping quiet so far.
