During the last few months AMD has delivered beyond their promises. In contrast, Intel has fallen quite short. Gateway and Dell have made no secret of this. Scumbria Really? I find that interesting, because because reports are that the on-die cache has been delayed 3 times: sharkyextreme.com "Originally, AMD had planned to move the L2 cache onto the die concurrently with the transition to the .18-micron process (i.e. with the 750MHz Athlon). Unfortunately, the 850MHz Athlon is the third processor we've seen after that point without the added benefit of an on-die L2 cache." And their SMP Chipset has also been delayed: geek.com "Athlon multiprocessing delayed - AMD announced that their multiprocessing chipsets, the AMD 760 and 770, will not be ready until 2001. This is a delay from previous estimates that the AMD Athlon would be available in multiprocessing configurations in the second half of 2000. This basically gives Intel free rein over the workstation and server market for the next year." Oh, wait, you probably meant that "AMD has delivered beyond their promises" concerning Microprocessor "SPEED" I guess that I misunderstood. Never mind <g> SemiConEng
