engel, <"nice" article>: "A potentially bigger problem is the loss of Raza, who also served as AMD's chief technologist. Raza has been credited with solving some of AMD's longstanding manufacturing difficulties, and was a driving force in bringing the latest flagship product, the Athlon, to market." This reporter (and you as well) is clueless. How could Raza resolve any "manufacturing difficulty" if he came from a fabless company of theorists (Nexgen) and probably saw a fab only on executive tours? How can Raza be "a driving force" behind the K7 when he was a K6 "architect" and has nothing in common with Austin team? I would not be surprised if he even tried to delay the k7 project at the time of K6 euphoria... <the $26 billion giant struck a development deal for digital subscriber line products.> Isn't it too late to "struck a development deal"? Isn't AMD already in production of ADSL chips for an year by now? One more "inflection point" is missing at Intel or what?
