Re: Willamette won't be here any time soon !...

Why not? If Athlon is at 1GHZ in January, it will probably be at 1.1GHZ by March. I would expect Intel to be able to stay up with AMD. But in a tie like that, AMD and its stockholders win - all AMD needs is rough clock speed and performance parity so that it can maintain a 30% share of the market, including the high end of the market. AMD's overhead and depreciation is a fraction of Intel's. What would be mediocre performance for Intel will be a tremendous, stock boosting success for AMD.

Intel at 1.1GHZ end of Februrary.... No problem.
