EP--

Oh come on, now. Sure, a 2.3 GHz core would have been more comfortable for the 3200+, but I think it's about time AMD stood up to Intel's benchmark deception. Intel can continue to buy off this or that benchmark or website (Tom's), and AMD can continue to say, sorry, we're not going to play by your benchmarks-- we'll label it as we feel appropriate, and let the market be the judge.

Besides, you never know when someone's going to find the code fragment that requires 3.0 GHz P4's to be cranked back to 2.8 GHz to avoid data corruption.

Not to get into the whole QS thing again, but if anything demonstrates its success, it's the reaction the Intel fans are having with every new speed grade.

Supposedly, the new nVidia chipset will take the FSB (memory too, if capable?) up to 500 MHz. That's a 25% overclock if the CPU can handle it... it'll be interesting to see results from such a system, when someone gets around to trying it.
