Even if you clock it to 10Ghz, it will bring nothing. The P4 has been made with clocking it higher than AMD in mind, they succeeded in that. Marketing is doing the rest. I'm not saying a K7 is a holy processor (hot processor, bugs here and there, mainboards usually not extremely stable for it). However when talking about speed, K7 is a clear winner for computerchess. K7 is 70% faster than P4 at the same Ghz. So your comparision below doesn't make sense. >WHICH MEANS: > >A P4 2.4Ghz is faster by about 10% than an AMD 1.73Ghz CPU. > > >And remember, Intel announced the P4 2.53Ghz today. > >I had the oppurtunity to "play" on a P4 2.4Ghz machine this weekend, and I am >sorry to report, Pentium is winning.
