An artical at the inquirer has a PDF created by Intel showing what Intel think of AMD's PR rating system.
<A HREF="http://www.theinquirer.net/modelperf.pdf" target="_new">READ THIS PDF FIRST BEFORE FLAMING ABOUT THIS TOPIC!</A>
Intel basically are saying that the PR rating is wrong and that thier 2Ghz Northwood outperforms the Athlon 2000+.
It seems to me that Intel have misunderstood AMD's PR rating....
AMD have clearly stated that the PR rating is based on the old Athlon 'Thunderbird' core.
Intel however think that the PR rating is equivalent to the clock speed of thier P4....intel have obviously totally misunderstood of how the PR rating works or have they ?...
Intel go on further and say that the Athlon XP is exaggerating its performance and have produced a pretty little graph to prove thier point. They claim that the P4 performs better in some benchmarks than an equivalent PR Athlon XP.
All this is very interesting....no doubt this is sensitive topic for AMD lovers and Intel trolls....<b>please keep flaming and FUD to a minimum or I shall be forced to delete this thread !
You have been warned !</b>
