March 24— In a move that Intel officials concede will create the need for training, the company has decided to step away from identifying its processors by speed metrics, such as "gigahertz." Instead, Intel chips will be identified by model numbers, and branding and packaging will focus on metrics such as bus speed and cache size instead of clock speed.

At least AMD's performance ratings are on the money. Intel hasn't made a cpu w/ decent price performance ratio since the 1GHz P3's. Even that was too expensive compared to the AMD athlon thunderbirds. As far as the p4's go.......ugh. Big money for 2nd best.
I'll guarantee you they won't use Instructions per Clock cycle to market they're chips.
the only reason intell can do that is industry is writtin for sse, MMX and all that. now AMD can do it but its a synthetic, and thus amd suck ass in industry. thats why people still use them.
