Goutama, Intel has been in catch up mode ever since the Athlon was revealed. In one fell swoop AMD leaped to parity and beyond in CPU capability. AMD is still small compared to Intel though. At Intel there was a frantic scramble to advanced schedules to try to get/stay ahead, and still they failed, and parts that heretofore would have been developed to a trouble free mature release sprang out the door unfledged to fall to their doom, taking the hopes of a number of clients with them. Remember one swallow does not make a spring, nor does the release of a few CPUs constitute a volume release. We have seen how this "release" in name only by Intel left GTW and Dell among many with no parts. Where's the parts? is the cry.
Of course AMD is biting Intels ankles, and gets higher and higher. Intel sleeps not, nor does AMD. A carefully planned rollout of Athlons and derivatives is under way and no part is released before it's time by AMD. WHen they say they have it there are enough for their users to meet their schedules with. We see comments about 1.2Gig AThlons with air cooling at certain OEMs? is this true? or are they needling Intel via close OEM friends in hopes of making them blunder again with the thought of a 1.2G Athlon coming out soon.
Now we have better Athlons with FS cache coming quickly and the VIA chipset. I am quite eager to see some benchmarks on the new via Mobos.
