I always wondered why AMD does not come out with a seperate chipset that has the SAME mhz as the newest Intel chips?? They could probably charge more for this chip, as it would probably cost more to produce. Say, for example, AMD had a chip that was the same mhz as the newest Intel which right now I believe is 3.06 mhz....can you imagine if an AMD chip had that kind of horsepower under the hood?? It would completely BLOW AWAY Intel hands down! Because AMD has had experience with doing more with less, or to put it another way, look at the 3200 which has a core speed of 2.2 ghz....NOW...Imagine if that chip had a 3.6 ghz core under the hood! I imagine you could EASILY overclock it to 4 mhz!
Intel would REALLY have a hard time catching up then, because they would match them equally when it comes to clock speed, yet STILL have the advantage by making their chip go further than Intel could ever push their chip! Because they have always had their chipsets at LESS mhz than intels and still beat them at their own game! A lot of people on this board would say that it would push up the price of the chips, but if they marketed to a crowd of "enthusiasts", like the vid card dealers do, they should be able to keep their share of regular users with the regular chips they make and add to their market with the "enthusiast" crowd! Then , they could make chips like vid cards are made- low end, mid range, and high end! High end though being the same mhz as intel with overclockability! Just a thought..........
