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.

And you can continue to make up conspiracy theories to explain away AMD's fraudulent marketing schemes. Bottom line is that AMD relies on customers mistaking the phoney QS number for actual GHz. They don't care how it performs, they just roll out a new QS number on schedule regardless of the performance.

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.

Not me. I'm an AMD investor and I'm happy to make money based on AMD deception. It'll all come out in the wash.
