Maybe it will increase the likelyhood that MSFT will pick AMD Athlon over Intel chips.

The implication of this would be huge for AMD. The high end is still partially driven by gamers. If MSFT goes with Athlon, it would mean that every game that can derive any benefit from it would be optimized for 3DNow. It would be a suicide to publish a game that does not run well on the X-Box.


Joe, yes you are right.....and it might just happen; there is no love lost between Intel and MSFT.
