All I can say is that yes it's true that clock rate isn't everything. In fact the other features of a processor are much more important - like pipelining technique, branch prediction efficiency, instruction set complexity etc. but I haven't studied any AMD chips except the Opteron so can't really go into that..wouldn't want to anyway [img]tongue.gif[/img]
