Milo,

Re: Micron to support AMD chip

I was speculating about this about a month ago: #reply-13384855. This news really made my weekend. It definitely made up for some disappointments from HotRail and Via.

Some points I liked:
That strategy did an about-face last week, when Klein said Micron is upbeat about the Samurai's ability to generate appreciable merchant-market sales by supporting the Athlon desktop processor. "We see a high volume for an Athlon DDR chipset," he said. "Our chipset road map includes Athlon in a big way"....

....Asked why Micron was allying itself with AMD, Klein replied, "The only reason is that AMD was extremely interested and wanted us to provide the Samurai chipset for Athlon. Intel didn't want to discuss our help with Samurai."
