the Pentium 4 is quad pumped, 133x4 = ~533, use to be 100mhzx4=400mhz, and now it's 200mhzx4=800mhz FSB.. the New althon 64 uses Hyper Transport which is fast, but a bit different then the traditional FSB. Also when AMD doesn't it's PR rating, it takes into account the L2 cache also, which usually is, the more L2 cache, the faster the CPU can be, under certain conditions. that's one reason why the Pentium 4 Extreme Editions are so fast, they have a 2.5MB of L2 & L3 cache, which when u have a program that can effectively fill up that L2 & L3 cache makes it fast.

yeah read that n my specs....... 133mhz cycle with quad makes my 533mhz... bandwidth is big in intel chips like you were saying the new Extreme can pump out 6.4 GB/s with L3 cache ... AMD can also pump out 6.4 GB/s internal, good enough... I think I might have to go back to AMD next year though...
Amd Hyper transport buses increase I/O dramatically.... Intel can't multiply its processor I/O bandwidth like AMD, i think, might be because of the way AMD set up their chip set when running with the Processor!
Don't know if Intel I/O bandwidth can be engineered like AMD to reach over 21GB/s... thats really impressive!
My would be 4.2 GB/s ....
