Comment on Intel predicts 10GHz chips by 2011 (from 2000)

    2000 Intel Pentium 4 1.5Ghz: Passmark score of 171
    Price of $819 at launch.

    2008 Intel Atom Z510 1.10GHz: Passmark score of 186
    Price of $45 at launch.

    2010 Intel Core i7 970 3.20GHz: Passmark score of 9954
    Price of $579.99 at launch.

Ghz used to be a performance mark in itself, now things are more nuanced. I'd say Intel still did right by their estimate.
