I´m by no means an intel or AMD fan.
The problem with the new xp processors is AMD´s way marketing it. It´s a well known fact that the common consumer ( 1st time buyers ) recognizes the speed as Mhz/Ghz.
The Pr rating ( eventhough it is relevant because mhz=speed is wrong ) is confusing the common public.
If they want to sell even more processors throw away the Pr system introduce a 50 stage pipeline and a speed of 3ghz.(cooling might be a problem lol)
People want mhz not PR.So what, if they don´t perform as well give the public what they want.
