Do you not think that the gab significantly narrowed back when the 800MHz P4 northwoods came out against the Athlon XP's? There was about a year when Intel had the slight advantage. As for the twisting of words, he never stated there was a major gain by Intel, just that the gab is closing.
If you think about it, AMD has not yet released any new cores for a while, Intel has. Hence the gap closing. The 4000+ has been out for a good few months now. Again, hence the gap norrowing.
As for the not hating people, I don't know you, so I suppose I really can't be educatedly honest about it. But the fact that I really don't know you apart from what you post seems to influence my view of you. Especially at one point when I got e-mails and MSN messeges of you stating how much of a moron I was etc. when I was the one with the facts. Hence the reason I think you are a people hater.
