Jonathan, I totally agreed with you. It is absolutely worthy for AMD buying Nexgen. When my friend told me a rumor long time ago that Texas Instrument was going to buy Nexgen. He said, "TI has a team around 300 people that develop K5 for many years, but they can not make K5. They need Nexgen technology" I told my friend, "Most probably AMD will buy Nexgen". The reason was AMD needed Nexgen technology to be surviving and TI doesn't have to. After buying Nexgen, AMD pretty soon announed they could make K5. If I am right I think most probably Nexgen software engineers helped AMD, because Nexgen already made K5 and had a lot of experiences. What happened to TI? TI dismissed the CPU team. Jonathan,I want to clear two things, if you can answer, please. Did Nexgen software engineers help AMD develop K5? When you say other company, is TI? Thank you James
