Elmer,
As it stands now Intel is manufacturing far more CuMines than AMD is manufacturing Athlons yet they are hard to get on PW
There are 4 pages of 733s, 2 pages of 750s. Using my condition, 750 would now be declared to be available.
On the Athlon side, about a week ago, the availability 850 was less than what would qualify, but this week they are close or have reached availability.
The question is not who makes more chips, it is who makes more 1 GHz chips.
Using these criteria, I don't expect to see the winner next week, or next month. It will probably take at least 2 months before the chips becomes generally available.
I propose that the first announced system supplier (IBM, CPQ, HP, Dell, GTW etc) be the defining factor. I believe HP is already announced. Am I not correct?
We can have a side contest of announcements. But I am more interested in chips, and a fair way to measure who won.
We will spare ourselves a lot of nastiness, lot of wasted time and bandwidth. Instead, we can talk about technology or investing. Something we can benefit from.
