Wind your clocks back to November 2000

I' here because I wrote the article. The score isn't bogus, and it is a fair comparison because both only used a single core. It is not a surprise because the FP ability of the P6 has been well known for soem time, unlike the Pentium 4, which suffers from a super-long pipeline buffer - massively slowing down the calculations because of a lengthy branch prediction process...

guess what?^^
it was always like this wasnt it?
when it all startet amd wasnt in the cpu buissness at all
then only ones were intel and a company which got broke and i forgott the name -.-
then intel became popular with there x86
and so on
i dont know exactly when amd started buidling cpus
but when they startet the cpus where cheaper and not so fast
then they startet to build up there architekture while intel didnt improve there p4 series
the conroe based on the pentium-m which is developed for 2? years now is one step forward but amd was even better in developing there things so thats why atm most people uses amd cpus

but we will see what future brings us

for knowledge:
amd= advanced micro devices
amd started with controls for machines ^^

I have to remind you the history. I dont remeber how it was with 80286.
AMD had a good market position in the begining of X86 architecture. Their 80386 were almost the same as Intels. Then AMD's 80486 beated Intel's processors. But then came the era of Pentium, where AMD was seriously beaten and almost fiorgotten. Thanks God AMD raised from ash and developed their Athlon and Duron which brought them back to market.
