Re: "Looks like another premature ej.. err I mean release. I think the folks at Intel should relax. They really want to satisfy their customers, but somehow they can't."

Jozef, please don't take this personally because it's not meant for just you but people here have been told for months that MUCH higher frequencies were coming from CuMine. Nobody believed it. People here were told about a single fab making a million CuMines in a single week and nobody believes it. Willamette showed that Intel had a combination of process technology and circuitry that could run at 3GHz and Scumbria called them "incredibly slimy" to even claim 1.5GHz. Andy Grove said Intel was shipping 1GHz production material and you still don't believe it. There is a desperate need to cling to the belief that AMD has a generation lead on Intel and there is nothing Intel can do short of Willamette to close that gap. Even Jerry claimed today that Athlon beat CuMine in every single benchmark clock for clock, a claim that not even the most zealous AMDite would make. I understand the need to cling to that hope but it's just plain wrong. Just like for Jerry, the unthinkable is happening right before your eyes and you will continue to deny it's even happening.
