Re: "But remember, AMDs business plan is to achieve a 30% market share - where Intel, with close to a dozen FABs to support, needs to completely dominate the market. What's the cost of the two platforms? What's the current availability?"

Ahhhh... How gratifying it is to see you guys scrambling for excusses. AMD doesn't have a business paln, don't you know that by now? The only plan they have is do anything they have to do to hurt Intel... Sell of any division, delay any payments, borrow as much as you can, cut any price, destroy anything you have to, just GET Intel.

Re: "There's a fresh version of the compiler for coppermine. Not that there's anything wrong with that :-). And if the guys who updated that compiler are any good, it's been optimized for coppermine - again, not that there's anything wrong with that. "

Dan, you're ignoring all the industry standard benchmarks that showed Coppermine beating the Athlon. Those have nothing to do with Intel's compiler.

Coppermine... Fastest X86 Processor in the Universe......

Athlon... Fastest X86 Processor by a company who never made a penney on any of their own processor designs....EVER....
