Yep, you read it right.. thanks to Warp2search for the heads up on this wacky article over @ Toms Hardware.
They took the Athlon XP 2000+ and the Pentium 4/2000 (Northwood core) and OC'ed them to 2300+(AMD) and 3000(Intel) Heres a snip from the article:
It might sound like a standard topic, but in reality it's quite dramatic: the AMD Athlon XP 2300+ challenges the Intel Pentium 4/3000. We've overclocked these two processors to the extreme, and in the end, they bedazzle with performances that will not be available on the market for another nine months. After all, with their latest offerings, the two manufacturers tout their respective processors as representatives of maximum performance levels. The task of coaxing that maximum performance out of the two competitors presented us with a particular challenge, but it was all done under conditions for absolutely stable operation.
