good lord.. the athlon is one helluva fighter

HOLY CRAP! Reading the article...those performance increases are astounding! It almost leads me to believe that one of the engineers had a stroke of genius one day and said, "WHOA! If we do <insert brilliant idea> then this chipset would kick the ass!" I hope that guy got a raise!

 

[Scouzer]

Anyone know if:

ECS is making a KT266A board?
How much does the KT266A cost?

OMG, someone get a Athlon mp in there stat!

 

[xtreme2k]

There wasnt any Athlon MP results on KT266A, that was why I didnt compare it.

I am 'expecting' Athlon MP 1.4-1.53 to KICK P4 2.0GHz ass in Quake3.

xtreme2k have you seen AthlonMP (board or cpu) in Sydney at all? Not that I've looked that hard but I haven't seen it in Melb

 

[formulav8]

The P4 with a 600mhz advantage is looking worse and worse(Not like it looked good in the first place for being at 2ghz.)

 

[pay]

geez.. intel better make some drastic changes with northwood..

 

[erub]

I still can't understand why we can't compare the flagship chips just as that - flagship chips, w/o menitoning the clock speed advantage one holds over the other. We should refer to their mhz as model numbers, which is what AMD is going to do eventually, like comparing a Ford Mustang GT with a Chevy Camaro Z28. Who cares if one is 50 lbs heavier than the other but has a .1 larger of a L engine(weighed down by a longer IPC), you should still compare their performance going 0-60 the same way. I hope this made some sense

 

[QuestionsandAnsweres]

OMG that rocks. isnt it funny retail T-bird cost $130 and can keep up with a $500 pentium 4 HAHA

 

[whitelight]

can't wait to see what a palo will be able to do to the p4.
