>>"After all, AMD did this same sleight-of-hand replacing real metrics with random numbers when they couldn't compete on speed anymore and nobody was fooled then.""

I hate to be the one to inform you, but they really aren?t random numbers. They are a representation of AMD vs Intel (ie a (1.5 GHz)1800+ is the equivalent of an Intel 1.8 GHz)
