would say that AMD is definitely not comparing the AthlonXP to the P4's. Starting on this link you can see how a PR 2000+ AthlonXP beats the 2.0Ghz P4A, by either a little or a lot. It does loose in one test that does not use the latest WMA encoder and also in the web benchmark. It is worth noting that in several tests it is neck in neck with the performance of a 2.5Ghz P4A. So thats why I don't think the PR numbers try to compare the AthlonXP to the P4.

Actually man, if you look at AMD's wording on the subject, they usally say something along the lines of "Out performs competitive processors at this speed." All AMD is doing is using numbers to make their processors look as big as an Intel when the consumer is buying one. Why else would they pick such a random naming of processors? All their PR ratings do is keep pace with Intel mhz numbers. So what other competitive processor do you know thats 2000+ Mhz? Not that many, I think Intel is the only company that sells processors that go over 2.0 Ghz out the box.
