Yeah Intel kan stadig ikke følge med Athlon! Imponerende at en 1666MHz
Athlon XP jorder en 2.0GHz P4 og endda kan hamle op med den nye P4 2.2 med
dobbelt så meget L2 cache som 2.0'eren.

The second point we attempted to make is that the Athlon XP is indeed a very
impressive offering from AMD. We've all known this for a while but seeing
how well it is able to stand up to the 2.2GHz Pentium 4 is like one day
rediscovering the beauty of a wife or girlfriend of many years. In virtually
all of the tests we conducted the Athlon XP 2000+ was within a negligible
amount of percentage points of the 2.2GHz Pentium 4. AMD has done a very
good job with the Athlon XP and the upcoming 0.13-micron Thoroughbred should
be even more exciting, although AMD has not had any sort of public trials on
their 0.13-micron process while Intel has been shipping 0.13-micron CPUs for
months.
