Athlon XP model names... in reference to Athlon-C or P4?

[DWW]

THIS IS NOT A FLAME PLEASE READ THROUGH!

I've always heard AMD's naming convention for the Athlon XP series was in direct reference to a P4 of that clock speed. EG Athlon XP 2000+ was performance as a P4 2.0 GHz. Lately I've heard it was meaning to compare to the Athlon-C chips. They ended at 1.4 GHz w/ 266 MHz bus if you guys know which ones I mean.

Can anyone verify this? Reason being that I have an Athlon C 1.33 and Athlon XP 2000 and was wondering if I swapped them (work machine and games respectively) whether I'd notice a 50% increase thereabouts in CPU performance on my work machine. (Games I play only require that 1.33 at most -- in anticipation of people saying use the athlon xp 2000 for games

Thanks.

AMD have always ststed that their Athlon XP ratings names are in relation to Athlon original speeds (I believe).

Going from a 1GHz processor to a 2GHz processor would NOT give you a 100% speed increase. Upping processor speed does not up performance by the same amount. It would only be 10% faster in some cases, 70% in others.
