Yes, I have read the articles. With the exception of Q3A and memory bandwidth benchmarks, the Athlon performs exceptionally. However... I would much rather see a clock for clock "mudhole" stomped into Intel's ass than the way it's going now.

Duron... eh.

I'd like to see the Athlon run clock for clock against the P4. That whole "it runs as fast as..." turns me off to AMD, faster or not.
