Elmer Fudd, <What's so hard to believe about AMD designers jumping ship?>
What is so hard to believe? Everything you say!
Because the best talents are jumping in, not out.
In, stupid!

<You question my statement that AMD design engineers are jumping ship???>
I am not questioning your statement:) I state that
it is the outright lie. You made it all up, no
matter how many ?????? you'd like to put at
the end of your phrase.

<After the President jumped ship and the Fab manager in Dresden jumped ship you have the nerve to say designers aren't jumping ship???>

First, who said that these two have jumped voluntary?

Second, you made up all this crap long before these
guys were booted, so don't try to get some credit
for it.

Third, every team eventually has to filter the
deadwood, (you don't need to go too far for
example, just take a mirror :) :) The major
K6 design was completed long time ago, so
it was quite possible that few engineers
could not find a position in more sophisticated
(and smaller!) K7 design team, especially when
the team was already fully assembled and
well into the design.

<What great incentive do they have with a company on..>
This is something you may have hard time to
understand:)
For inventive people there might be something more
than a salary, in contrast to dummy pursuaders
like yourself. The greatest incentive is taking
a chance to beat a crap out of Intel designs.
It is a rarest lifetime opportunity for a chip
designer. And I guess the Athlon is a clear
demonstration of success in that, and a perfect
proof that all your "make it so jumping" are
lies.

<Maybe you should jump while you still have the chance.>
Chance for what ? As you say, "The job market is hopping and salaries are soaring", so what are you talking about? :)
