OK ill take this one step by step.
"The new athlon WILL PERFORM ON PAR WITH THE LATEST P4,"
THIS IS A SINGLE LINE, THE 2GHZ IS THE LATEST P4, THE NEW ATHLONXP 1.53 WILL KICK THE CRAP OUT OF IT, I however decided to be evenhanded and said perform on par. Do you deny this fact ray, the athlon 1.4ghz loses benchmarks by 7-10% when compared to the p4 2ghz. The athlonxp will give 10% performance enhancement clock for clock, this means that a 1.4ghz (let alone a 1.53ghz)athlon xp will equal a p4@2ghz. DO YOU DENY THIS RAY.
"northwood and whatever else comes out in the coming months will undoubtedly change this"
This line was giving the the intel camp the nod for the fact the northwood should increase performance and keep AMD on its toes while acknoledging the fact that AMD is also creating new technologies which will keep the battle raging. DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT COMMENT RAY?
There are benchmarks for the palomino, they are called athlon mp benchmarks, the mp is the palomino, and they have been tested, and give 10% clock per clock. Those benchmarks are widely available.
NONE of my claims were baseless. I must respectully ask you quit riding my ass when I post with your assumptions. I have not made a single claim which I can not back up, and those claims which are not set in stone or are my oppinions are ALWAYS LED INTO WITH "PROBABLY, MOST LIKELY" etc.
