Ted,

well thought out analysis by Kumar as to why Intel is a superior company in all respects

I'm glad that you are coming around to your senses.

Intel is indeed a brilliant company. Some of the greatest examples of clear headed thinking have come out of that company in the last two years.

1. Timna- Build a low cost, integrated CPU with cheesy graphics, and put an exclusive interface to very expensive DRDRAM on board.

2. Merced- Build a huge, low MHz processor with a terribly complicated programmers model, to replace a huge existing infrastructure of high-MHz x86 CPUs.

3. Willy- Build a very deeply pipelined CPU, and put an exclusive interface to long latency, expensive DRDRAM.

How on earth could those dim-wits at AMD compete with their simple minded high MHz, high performance, low cost DDR based designs?

Face it. We are not worthy to question Kumar and Intel.
