    moderators: Why is this informative when it's wrong?

    the Althon has a double pumped 133Mhz bus (equivalent bandwidth to a normal 266Mhz bus)

    the P4 on the other hand, has a QUAD pumped 100Mhz bus (equivalent to a normal 400Mhz bus)

    there's a reason the P4 lays the smack down in memory benchmarks guys... ('tis a shame it sits around doing nothing with the data it actually gets from memory though :)

    Althons are faster because the core itself is MUCH faster per clock, lets see..

    P4 x87 FPU = single execution unit
    Althon x87 FPU = THREE execution units

    the Althon is something of a brute force design, but it's an ELEGANT brute force design :)
