"Here is our product, how many do you want to buy?"
"Well, it looks good, and the pricing is right. But we really need to see a high end part, Intel has one..."

"Here is our product, how many do you want to buy?"
"Well, it looks good, and the pricing is right. But we really need to see a low end part, Intel has one..."
When the Tbird and Spitfire rolled out.
"Here are our products, how many do you want to buy?"
"Well, they look good, and the pricing is right. But we really need to see a server part, Intel has one..."
When the Palomino cores rolled out.
"Here are our products, how many do you want to buy?"
"Well, they look good, and the pricing is right. But we really need to see a more than 2 way server part, Intel has one..." |
