I read the online version of The NY Times every day. There's an article on the new Pentium 4 where Anandtech is mentioned. The article explains that it is slower than the Pentium III even though the clockspeed is faster.

I can't link because you need to register (free) to read the article, but here is the PP where it is mentioned:

In various studies performed by PC World magazine, IT Week magazine and Web sites for techies like www.anandtech .com and www.sharkeyextreme.com, the Pentium 4 makes it around the test track of everyday computing tasks at a speed that's about 10 percent slower than that of the 1- gigahertz Pentium III chips. And if you crave ultimate speed, note that the first- place winner in almost every test isn't a Pentium at all; it's the 1.2-gigahertz Athlon, a chip made by AMD, Intel's rival.

ps - sharkyextreme is mentioned as well.

Sweet... I like how they give the speed crown to AMD! Now if they can just crack into the corporate market, and figure out a way to dampen down their heating issues... they've got it made!

That's a nice article. I might have to start showing that to my more ignorant customers who think they are &quot;experts&quot; and try telling me that AMD sucks and Intel always has a better product.

On a side note, Anadtech was mentioned in a computer newspaper here in Sweden recently.
AFAIK AT is the only &quot;hobbyist&quot; site along with Tom's that's ever been mentioned in this particular paper, they tend to stick to more &quot;serious&quot; sources, so I guess that could be seen as a sign of acceptance by the more &quot;stiff&quot; people in the industry :)

Shouldn't that title be &quot;Neffer&quot;? :D

Good to see Anand and AMD receiving some favorable press.
