Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

[Not a Short]

So what is new here? Haven't we known this since the beginning? We already know from reviews that AMD's model numbers cannot stand up to Intel's frequencies. They are too aggressive, and only getting worse.

I'm not in the mood to spend time looking up old posts on SI to refresh your memory on what everyone said in the past. I'll just give this quick link to an article from 2001 that explains the original stance on the ratings:

"The so-called "PR Ratings" compare the performance of AMD Athlons with Palomino cores against their own processors and are based on 35 different benchmarks, according to a representative at the launch of the chips in Milano today."
