This statement does not come from the PC Magazine. It is the original statement which you can also find in the press release from AMD...
In fact you can simply find the real aim of AMD. They do not want to bring a new highend processor but an well performing "everybody" or "always computing" CPU.
And finally... It is clear, that AMD offers its low cost users much more performance than intel does with its silly celeron line...
Just try to calculate the time you will have to wait until one DVD has been burned... if it is 4x speed, then you can got to the next computer shop and buy a news hard disc drive in the same time;)
it's not my business, if the athlon xp would be faster than the intel processor, IF they would get the same clock speed... the fact is: ATM there is no athlon with higher clocks than 2200 mhz and that's not enough to win against big-intel... but go on dreaming... AMD needs money to start selling athlon 64 cpu's;)

i do not believe this... why should they do so? athlon 64 / Opteron are nice processors for that business.
because it is not possible to run a radeon card in DRI-Mode on an nForce(2) Motherboard
