A note to the original poster - This page (Round1) is almost
5 years old. I continued reading page after page till Round 4. The author ends his comparison in 2003 saying the P4 2.4 Ghz is waaaaay better than AMD Athlon and how AMD has lost the lead by falling asleep at the wheel.
Man, you should really read before posting links to 5 year old articles. You just gave "Living in the past" a whole new meaning.

Or is it "Dead as a dodo".
Anyways, I reckon if the author continued his diatribe to the present day he would end with a "AMD catches up again" theme.
Cheers,
