Look at the top graph(the red and blue one) you (...). The CPUs in Orange and Green(Athlons, classic P4s and Athlon MPs) do not come close to touching the Northwood.

Like I said, what do you have to pay for one of these? Do you really think they could sell one of those piece of crap X-Crocks for the price one would have to pay with this CPU included? Right now AMD has more bang for the buck.

Compare the speeds of all the chips involved, dumbshit.
Let's see, a 2Ghz chip outperforms a 1.6 and lower?!? No fucking way?!?!?!?
Fucking idiot.
The only thing that SHOULD be done with an XXXX-Box is target practice. Intel architecture in a gaming system?? WHY?!? I don't care WHAT chip you use, Intel/AMD/Cyrix/etc., the architecture is just SHITTY.

Please don't tell me you think that a gaming console should have a RISC processor(Like a G4).
RISC CPUs are not good for 3D Graphics rendering. Seriously, a G4 could not run most of the games the XBOX has to offer/will have to offer very well. The games would have lots of slow downs, FPS stuttering, etc. High speed x86 CISC CPUs can render 3D Graphics quite well because of the way the architecture works.
I have a question for you. Are you by any chance related to Forest Gump?

play station 3 on the way...... should be better than the xbox, after all, m|croshaft do tend to hide there mistakes. What new ones do you think come with the xbox????

Ooh. Clever. You are now bashing me for things I never said. I never said they should use a Risc processor in a gaming system; I did say the Intel architecture is a piece of shit. Two entirely different ideas, although they may appear related to the untrained eye.
Oh, and by the way, high speed x86 CPUs pass the buck to the high speed chip on the AGP card and let it render the graphics, which is the real reason why the Intel architecture has high-speed graphics: through one of the hacks it is famous for. The architecture used in modern PCs is a hack on a hack on a hack . . . carry that out ad nauseam and you'll get the idea. That is why it's a piece of shit, not because of which processor it uses.
