First it is stated that the Athlon 1800 is the "performance winner":
"We've got our performance winner in this extensive CPU test - the AMD Athlon XP 1800+ tops the Intel Pentium 4/2000 in most of the applications benchmarks we selected. The Athlon XP's strengths really lie with 3D games that use DirectX 7 or DirectX 8. "
Then stated later:
"Another factor is the stability and product quality of a system: while all Athlon processors suffered from occasional instability in our tests, the Pentium 4 platform ran without a glitch."
How can you say a processor is a "performance winner" if ALL (read the quote at top) Athlon processors suffered from instability?
I would think that a "performance winner" would need to "perform" in all circumstances, which apparently isn't true for the Athlon, but is true for the Intel chips, as stated in the above quote.
Interesting...
