Re: "Intels greatest fear may be that by the time Willy is ready, it will be slower than Athlon."

I think we should be talking about AMD's greatest fears as well. What is going to happen if Willamette is as great as rumor has it? What is going to happen if CuMine yields and frequency really do ramp as well as some are claiming? What is going to happen if Intel starts hitting on all cylinders and AMD starts screwing up again, just like the 20 year old pattern? What happens when Intel gets all this enormous capacity online and cranking out low cost processors? With current CuMines outperforming Athlons, what's going to happen when they are rolling out by the 10's of Millions? No SMP in sight!! Jackedup voltage in a desperate attempt to catch Intel in the frequency race! Dresden years in the making and still offline!! Unsold Athlon inventory! Poor chipset support! The bubble will not hold together forever guys. Intel has a big pin.
