Comparing Dothan

With all the discussions of IPF and Atlon64 I think some people are missing the important comparison. The Dothan is very much like an AthlonXP, not an Athlon64.

That's where the comparison is and where benchmarks should be taken. Looking at notebooks today that's what I would compare.

Hell, as I saw someone point out today even the names are similar, only one letter different:

Athlon -> Lothan - > Dothan (was this an inadvertant admission by intel?)

Incidentally my wife went into a big PC parts distributor today to do some accounting/consulting and she ran a sales report by product. Evidentally #1, by a mile, was AMD (she can't remember which product, just it was AMD and a CPU); second was intel cpu of some kind. Evidentally this was quite a change from last year.

Oh elmerp, diss my retail observations if you like but how are they different from Osha's. Don't bother to answer, I have no time for the phud you spew anyway. You're just another marketing geek.
