But with Prescott intel has gone into full retarded mode making the pipeline even longer and even more cache couldn't save itī, because the cache had high latencies and even lost to Northwood im some cases...

The thing that i hope AMD doesn't do is to try to get mhz at all cost or we see the same thing intel stumbled into...
No I am stating facts and you know it. If you believe that design has no room to grow then you are in full denial mode .
