I realize this is a hard concept to grasp for all you AMD supporters who can't even grasp the possibility that Intel will come back with a vengeance. But I think Maxwell put it best, and as a guy who's seen both sides of the fence, he should have even more credibility that I would. AMD should have a strong showing for 2000, but Willamette will mark the end. And the later AMD plays its ace-in-the-hole (if AMD even has one), the smaller the ROI will be. Tenchusatsu, its this kind of presumptive attitude that Intel knows what's happening is what got Intel into its current mess. I really don't believe AMD's engineering staff is sitting back, hoping that Intel doesn't come up with something better than the Athlon. I also don't think Via is relying on the fact that its overhead costs are less than Intel's and has gone off fishing. Both Via and AMD know what its like to be on the bottom and they also know that to get off the bottom requires constant diligence and effort. Its why little guys beat out the fat cats in an upset victory. Its why Intel needs to be concerned....no even stronger than that, a little afraid. Its why AMD and Via are becoming friends. ted
