Fudd, <So if they had working Tsunami systems and a working Athlon, they would have done a demo.>
No, your logic is false. AMD did not need
any public demo with A0 silicon because
the product development
was progressing fully on schedule.
Demoing K7 on non-native platform would be
politically incorrect, this is Marketing 101
if you wish.

It is Intel who desperately need to demo
no matter what because they are 2 YEARS late.

<Either the Tsunami didn't work (unlikely seeing as it works with Alpha) or the Athlon didn't work. Which do you think it was?>
Voices from the "pool" hinted that both did
work and very well, STARTING with NT4
(where MerDUD failed, according to sources)!
