Intels 650 mhz -1 Ghz processor?

[DDad]

Found at Overclockers,com (http://www.overclockers.com/articles179/:
"The gentleman saw an 820 board with a "1Ghz" processor on display. He wanted to test it. The Intel person wouldn't let him, saying that the 1Ghz processor was really only 700Mhz. When no one was looking, our hero rebooted the machine, and found out it was only a 650Mhz.

Tells you what Intel thinks of its audience"

Paper launches, now outright mis-representation, where will it stop?

AMD bumped the voltage, and cache divider for their 1 GHZ.
they aren't too much better.

Sov-
Where did AMD claim a 650 Athlon was a 1 ghz?
Upping the voltage and changing the Cache divider were technical considerations, not ethical ones,and made primarily so that they could actually get the chips to market - Intels actions, as demoed here, have been nothing more than half-truths, stalls, and outright lies.
The results show in the market- Amd has 2 GHZ chips on the market, Intel 0 (unless you count the PIII 650 and up to be a Ghz chip!)

just to clarify Ddad means that there are 2 different amd cpus on the market that run at 1ghz, not that AMD has a 2ghz cpu (I Wish).

Well, all I can say is, that's direct from the story as told at the address mentioned in the initial post- that's why I include the link, so folks don't accuse me of making stuff up ala GUTB!
