Good point, you said it all.
The current problem for AMD is the p4 3.06 is at about the same price than their Barton 3000+. If i was about to buy a $600+ CPU i'd choose the p4.
The cause may be a problem of yield for AMD, they need to solve it quick. Because Intel aren't waiting for them and are spitting uber frequencies CPUs every 2 months now.
Besides why did they boost the PR rating that high, that's total BS. The Barton 3000+ should have been labelled 2800+.
(disclaimer) i still maintain that TBred B's are killer machines
