C300A was a misstake that they won't repeat. (Score 3)

Do any of you really think that Intel is going to make the same misstake again? Never will there be a low-end processor outperforming a high-end one again. And besides, everyone keeps comparing overclocked celerons with un-overclocked P!!!'s ... Didn't you stop to think that the P!!!'s are highly clockkable aswell? (Not to even mention the Athlons that arn't even multiplier-locked) Alas, FSB speed has a dramatic impact on perfomance as a whole ... In my last upgrade i made a severe misstake and bought a C466 PPGA only to discover that due to the 66mhz FSB my old C300@450 was faster ... Luckily the local shop allowed me to change my mind and thus I now have a P3/450 rock solid at 560mhz with a 124mhz FSB ... It came out with three times more performance than then both of the old celerons ... and this with only 1/4-1/5 higher cpu clock ... No use having a hotly clocked cpu on a slow bus, it'll just be throwing idle cycles waiting for the rest of the machine ... AMD will be my next step, atleast they give you the freedom to push the product as far as you want to , not like intel who keeps trying to control us with their stinking multiplier locks ...
