Confused about the 68U and 68P in router ranker

AFAIK, the -P simply has a faster CPU.
Thanks for your reply. From what I have been able to gather from Mr. Wiggins (spelling?) analysis of the 1900 class routers (Asus), there is hardly any worthwhile difference between the AC68U and AC68P and derivatives, at least that's the way I read it. If anyone see's it differently show me in his reviews.

There were some testing differences in range in one of the "retests", I think, with the "original" 800 Mhz "U" router doing slightly better than the 1 GHz "P" router. But I think they all are coming with the 1 GHz processor now, at least in the US.
But one has to wonder if some of the subtle differences are just normal variations, i.e. - if you test 10 different routers of the same revision, what would the performance spread be?

Ha! Ha!Has anyone noticed that Amazon has raised the prices on ALL routers within the last couple weeks?
I guess they're getting ready for Black Fri

They have? You can use CamelCamelCamel to see Amazon's price history.

Looking at that data it would appear I was wrong, however those dates don't always correspond to a week, however I was only looking at the Asus RT-AC1900P, https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_15?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=asus+rt-ac1900p&sprefix=Asus+RT-AC1900P,aps,428&crid=B66U1XKY7U75 which was listed over a week ago at $15?.??, now $180.00.
My wording should have been towards the single router I was looking at, the RT-AC1900P and NOT to routers as a whole. I apologize for delivering bad information to the group based on what the camel said.
Good question, I would think the 1 GHz ones would be better, but what I gather from the router ranker it's not that way, also I hadn't heard that the AC68U is now coming with a a 1GHz processor, when did that happen?
It's sometimes very hard to decipher tests or statements when they are not dated, that really IRK's me
