Re: there is an October release of Cumine at 7xx. I expect there to be good availability of systems...

Sometimes there are advantages to being number 2. AMD will need to supply fewer top speed grade systems than Intel until it has finished establishing itself as a competitor at the high end.

Speaking of which, I thought that Cumine needed an MTH to run SDRAM on the motherboards that support coppermine. And isn't the MTH a performance killer? Which leaves effective motherboard availability limited to a few hundred K units for Q4 since that's all the rambus that's available.

Can Cumine run OK on MTH systems? If any magazines start doing 100MHZ SDRAM to 100MHZ SDRAM comparisons, Cumine could end up (unfairly) looking pretty bad.
