Elmer - RE: "They don't do things that way. They bring up a new processor in 1 fab, like the one PB works in, They aren't going to have multiple fabs sitting there doing nothing. Not when they still can't fully meet demand for existing products. Only when they have the recipe down will they proliferate the product through the many fabs."

Of course, how could I have forgotten Intel's copy-exactly..

I guess what I posted is a situation that could have happened to AMD since they have one fully operational microprocessor fab.

"After that I'm afraid it's probably lights out."

Funny how you are so confident about a set of foils, but I guess you actually know what is on the foils...

What makes you so sure Mustang will be a dud next to Willy? Intel has bet Willy's performance on a chipset that will demand DRDRAM, but what if prices don't fall? Maybe Intel will have a DDR SDRAM capable chipset also available, but if Willy's platform was designed for DRDRAM from the get-go I would think DDR SDRAM would lower Willy's performance.

I'll wait for info to come out of the IDF and let the people who know about processors write articles about it before I even give a thought about Willy turning any Athlon derivative's lights out.
