Anti-A64 hype! No way an overclocked PM could compete clock for clock
with an Athlon 64 FX (Power consumption on such an old architecture is a
given!)! No surprise there!
Let me see if I have this straight, a glorified PIII die shrink taking
on an Althon FX? WTF is Tom thinking? Rubbish! @:|>

Asus has released an adaptor that allows a Pentium M (Intel's

motherboards. Take a look at what a Pentium M can do when it's on a
more level playing field - and notice the power consumption.
The Pentium M is the latest incarnation of the 10 year old Pentium Pro
design, it closely mimics the last PIII die (Tualatin) which in turn
was tweaked up version of the original PIII which was a teaked up
version of the PII which was a tweaked up version of the PPro :)
Is there a point for the P4 to exist at all anymore? And how inept
are the P4/netburst engineers for making a glorified space heater that
consumes more power after a die shrink?
