Exactly. At least AMD's scheme was quite consistent usually (except the new Sempron ratings) and you could easily compare it to Intel's clockspeeds. I don't really understand Intel. Instead of giving a virtual processor rating they now give a complicated number that no customer will ever truly understand (it makes my head spin already). I think this is far, far worse than AMD's scheme ever was. First they insist on using clockspeeds as the only indicator, and now they suddenly switch to such a complicated numbering scheme ? This will last exactly until they get tired of having to answer questions of irate customers who accidentally bought the wrong thing. Maybe this new scheme is in anticipation of when they are going the multicore route...
