Mani and Charles - <Sure PB, what ever you say. Can You tell me where I can get a Intel any thing at 650 MHz? I bought an AMD one last night. If I want another one I can just go to a local store.>

Let me put it this way. If intel used the same criteria for announcing /releasing top speed, Intel would have been way ahead a month ago.

My information suggests that the 650 was "released" with about 3x bin split percentage less than what Intel would consider an acceptable percentage.

Okay, with 650, AMD is ahead of the .25um PIII that is released, at 3X less bin split percentage than Intel would ever consider releasing a speed grade. Maybe the K7 700 will be different.

As I said, I don't believe AMD is winning a whole lot of friends in the channel with their "PR" releases. I believe Intel has good reason for going conservative with what they say is available.

I understand what I am saying may not be popular with AMD fans. However, the difference in what is evidently required to release a DT part between these two companies is striking.

But, if AMD wants to play footloose with the channel, be my guest. I concede, Intel is behiund on MHz at the moment. Am I concerned that premature announcing of speed grades by AMD is going to harm Intel? Not ultimately. If Intel was playing by the same rules AMD is now, we'd be having an entirely different conversation right now.
