WATSONYOUTH,

Re <Intel will demo a 1GHz IA-32 room temp processor at ISSCC in Feb. This is no rumor.>

Then what is it? Fact you say, then post the proof.

Re <I have yet to see proof of 1GHz Athlons>

Unless you work for AMD, I wouldn't expect you to have. I have not seen one either, what is your point? 900 MHz was demonstrated in public, pretty good.

Re <Willamette could be ready by Oct 2000, what is AMD waiting for?>

For Oct 2000.

Re <Why only 750MHz as the initial .18um release? Why only a rumored speed bump to 800MHz?>

Because 750 MHz is next speed grade after 700 MHz. 800 MHz is also the next one after 750 MHz.

Re <If the consumer will not buy 800MHz processors now, why will they buy 1.2GHz processors 4 months from now?>

Consumer does not buy 800 MHz because there aren't any. If there was some, they would buy it.

Re <just my take>

Very bad takes, IMO.

The fact is that AMD has the highest MHz CPU and is selling all they can make at a high ASP. A higher MHz one does them no good at this point.
