Semiconeng or should I say semi-conning: Re: "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:http://www.sharkyextreme.com/hardware/reviews/cpu/athlon_850/2.shtml "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>" Comment (1): In one of your posts you claim to have been a lurker for some time...If so, you demonstrate little comprehension or you would not choose to take a comment "out of the context of this thread" and put your own little spin on it...unless of course you've fallen under the spell of some of the gullabees on this thread who share this common characteristic! Comment (2): Companies operate by objectives. There is no company within the technological sector or without for that matter who meet all their objectives...AMD's #1 objective is to ship 10 million "spry Athys" in Y2000...All other objectives are secondary to this goal including your example of slippage of on die cache. Comment (3): Any half wit who has been lurking would understand that the context of the statement about AMD's success in meeting goals within the microprocessor arena is relative to Intel's success in this arena and any half wit would understand that AMD's success rate in meeting semiconductor goals over the past little while has far surpassed Intel's success rate... Comment (4): Semi-conning, either you are a half wit or you are Paul in disguise...maybe both given Paul's recent posting achievements!
