interesting note on intel speeds that I never noticed. ron
---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 09 Jan 2003 08:45:26 -0500 From: JOHN DEGOOD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Intel A, B, etc. nomenclature When Intel does a die turn the speed range of the new processor sometimes overlaps with the earlier die, so to distinguish the chips they use "2.0 GHz", "2.0A GHz", "2.0B GHz", etc. The functionality often is significantly different, e.g. the P4 "1.8 GHz" has 256K cache, while the P4 "1.8A GHz" has 512K cache, so the "1.8A" benchmarks much better.
