This is intended to be a non-flame discussion.

The point of this pointless thread is basically to see which CPU you think will come out on top: Northwood 2.2 GHz or Palomino 1.67 GHz (2000+). They are both slated for similar release dates...

My personal opinion will be a repeat of what we saw with tbird 1.4 versus P4 1.8... pretty equal in speed, with the AMD part being the better buy due to price.
