"...a George, divided against itself...cannot stand."
My hardware and over-clocking world is colliding with my car world:
My God, the S2000 compared to a P4. But I'm an AMD man!

AMD's Athlon processor blends a balanced combination of IPC and clock speed into one package while the Pentium 4 focuses squarely on high clock rates. To refer to a car analogy, think of a vehicle like the Honda S2000, which achieves its peak horsepower and torque at high RPMs. This vehicle is akin to the Pentium 4. In comparison, a similar roadster such as the Porsche Boxster S which achieves its peak figures at a lower RPM level (i.e. the Athlon). Each solution has its own way of achieving its performance (those important 0-60 times!) and neither implementation is "right" or "wrong" -- it's just something you have to realize when product shopping...
