Which would at least be a lot better than what supporters of the "smoother" have now, which is no quantifiable evidence at all. At the moment, it's no better than the people trying to sell $1000 power cables for audio or those who still think vinyl records sound better.

Hardcore guys simply won't believe AMD is better (P4 sales of 2004-2006 is enough proof of that!) and the fence riders are going to buy whatever PR is best at the time of purchase. I doubt if anything will ever change that ...
And a lot of the P4 sales comes from AMD's inability to build and sell 200 million processors a year.
