Petz:The higher 100's digit has nothing to do with additional features

Never said it did. What I did say, was that Intel will take a LOT of pressure off GHz, maybe all, and market features instead. Speed is not an issue anymore, people should stop hyping these little speed differences between AMD and Intel. They mean nothing. There is more than enough computer power to do almost anything. Either you keep up with the chip technology or you don't. A lot of it will be if you can compete, in profits that generate new technologies, not in speed. I think this is what Intel has in mind. They can outmarket AMD, they can outbuild AMD and they can outprofit AMD.

Petz: wbmw's original assertion was that you can compare performance across all models by looking at the XX digits -- this is false. The first digit doesn't even indicate the architecture, since IIRC, both Celeron Ms and Celeron P4s use the same leading digit, 3.

There you go again. Look beyond.
