Re: "The AMDroids never predicted this could happen.
AMD was supposed to have been INFALLIBLE !"

Go easy on em Paul, they are in deep shock.

The Athlon was supposed to destroy Intel's P6 generation processor and now it's the other way around. SGI demoed a 16 processor Itanium system while AMD still can't demo a 2 processor Athlon. Intel is making noises about extending the x86 to 64 bits and that will totally kill the K8 effort. This is a tough time for these guys and they need some time to digest all this. They'll need a couple a days to make up some new excuses....
