EP, Re: You should apply that reasoning to Opteron, a warmed over Athlon.

Other than simply being released after the Athlon, what, in particular, makes you say this?

There's been at least one recent article on this subject (Inquirer?), which concludes the opposite.

I guess SSE2 support, 1MB L2, on chip memory controller, HT links, 64-bit extensions, improved branch prediction, and completely redesigned execution units don't cut it for you? :)

thanks,

Doug
