We shall shortly see what these new AMD processors are capable of. Unfortunately AMD has been engaged in paper releases of processors for more than a year already, and their fan sites like AMDzone are just another twist in the sorry story that AMD has become.
The performance is not on their side for some time already and business has never been.
Yeah, you're right, the P4 3.2 Ghz really crushes the Athlon XP 3200+ doesn't it?

Yes, I have to say I am getting lost with all this but I know I have no intention paying $350 for a single channel one. And then waht, when the 940 becomes more affordable to throw 754 chip and buy both mobo and a new chip? Nice idea.
P1 60 > 66 Anyone?
or Slot 1 to socket anyone?
or coppermine to tualatin anyone?
or the P4? How many "platforms" has that had?
Move away from the greenhouse before releasing missiles....
The P4 has had two separate pinouts (423 and 478), and quite a few "platforms". Anyone who bought a socket 423 P4 needs to have a cat scan however, especially an avid Anand reader. Socket 423 was a runt from birth, with S478 looming overhead always. Early adopters of new CPU technology usually get screwed, especially when it's really major and they have to work the kinds out through a few "platforms".
