AMD's CPU design is more efficient than Intel's so if you rate a 1.4GHz Athlon XP vs. a 1.4GHz Intel P4, the Athlon will run rings around the P4. So in order to sell at much cheaper prices, AMD ships CPUs with lower clock rates and a rating of 1400++ meaning the CPU model in question is a match for Intel P4 running at 1.4GHz. > > > On Monday 10 March 2003 21:44, Holden Hao wrote: > > On Mon, 2003-03-10 at 18:52, Manny Amador wrote: > > > Hi all! > > > > > > I am considering purchasing a 950MHz Duron XP1400-based system from PC > > > > AFAIK, AMD Duron is different from AMD Athlon XP.
