Goutama - <AMD, Intel deny mobo muscle allegations>

I'll be looking forward to the JC's and Tom's Hardware retraction blurbs.

<On the contrary, AMD has said that it is very pleased with the response of the Taiwanese mobo makers, with more partners coming on board quicker than it expected.>

Good news for AMD'ers.

<Rana Mainee, AMD's European research director, said: "We do not know of any outright pressure." Market perception as AMD rolled out its Athlon K7 products may have been that there was not enough motherboard support, but, Rainee said, his company was pleased with the way things were going.>

Then how come AMD produced 150k more Athlons than could be supported by the Mobo makers in Q3? I didn't listen to the AMD Q3 CC. Was Sander's tone indicative of someone who was happy with his infrastructure support?

<The motherboard manufacturers, he said, had a lot on their plate because of delays to Intel's i820 chipset. But they had also overcome these problems, he added. "The 820 has caused some motherboard people a fair amount of additional workload," he said.>

Hmmm. Clarification on this would be nice. Is an AMD guy saying Intel's i820 Mobo problems are cured as far as the mobo makers themselves are concerned?

Thanks for posting Goutama. This is a Register article, but sources are quoted.
