'fairly' being the operative word not 'awesomely' as is the K8 one. As regards 90nm, $20 die saving cost means bugger all on a $100+ A64 markup but it could mean the difference between just breaking even and making a handsome profit on your mass value segments which still provide the bulk of the income. AMD agree and that is why FX gets it last.

Re: The anandtech review also confirms that the K7 Semprons are fairly rated versus their Celeron D competition.

Rated fairly against what? Celeron D megahertz?

Come on, Intel has finally gotten over that measurement, why can't AMD?
