How much these articles and their shitty PC Worldbench score will influence Athlon XP 3000+ and 3200+ sales?

Rather ridiculous reviews, aren't they? Just shows how good it is to look around before buying and not trust just one site implicitly. Their tests are highly limited in scope - and besides, <i>PC WorldBench</i>? Come on... :smile: Compiled, of course, with GNU, not ICC - I'll bet...

Its just rediculous on how much infulence we have on benchmarks. However, in reality, the difference between AMD and INTEL all runs about the same. Argue if you want to, but that's what my conclusion after using CPU's from Cyrix, Intel, and AMD.
 
The difference begins where you want it to, period.

Make the CPU go stressed, and you shall get your difference.

That's true. Take, for instance, THG's video on HT: is that not noticeable?... I think it is! So... there is a difference.

A 3.06GHZ being better than a 3.6GHZ says a lot!
