DannyDisease - Re: "The problem here for Intel is that if AMD can maintain rough parity in chip performance, the OEMs will flock to AMD to get out from under Intel's thumb. "
Well, the OEM's left AMD with 150,000 UNSOLD AthWIPES last quarter !!!
Since the BIGGIES - IBM & Compaq - have been reported as making their OWN MotherBoards for the AthWIPE - all your CONSPIRACY GARBAGE_MANIA flies out the window !!!!
IBM & Compaq simply COULDN'T SELL enough of the AthWIPES, leaving the AMDroid Losers searching for YET ANOTHER ALIBI to explain away AMD's MASSIVE $106,000,000 QUARTERLY LOSS in the face of Intel's $1,900,000,000 Quarterly Profits !!!
And in a week, the Coppermine will be launched, taking away the AthWIPES UNCHALLENGED MARKET position for the first time since the THREE AThWIPE LAunches - June, July and August !!!!
Better be prepared to dig up SOME NEW ALIBI's - AlibiDan !
