RDM ...Re>><<<<The market rewards mostly highly consistent performance. The normal forward/backward chaos of product development is best hidden from customers and investors.

I would rather they bank their "public demos" at this time since I believe we are on track for $200 by the end of the year and I do not believe it will get there any faster with just a demo. Once Willamete is released, or close, perhaps they should reveal some more "futures". <<<<

RDM, I believe you are missing the point. Last week when the German article stated that AMD had a 1.5 ghz chip, Chuck questioned whether if AMD should market the 1.5 ghz in limited quantities until gap in mhz is closed from old 1 ghz to new 1.5 ghz. I say with the new plant, new chip design and new copper process, the fastest speed available should be marketed in order to show off the new chip. Anything less will dampen enthusiasm for the new process.

By the way I think Joe brings up a good point in that Duron at 700 mhz and $200 will be a much better buy than T-bird at 1ghz; so people will wait for Duron. T-bird needs a better send-off in order to get the enthusiasm going. 1.2 minimum top speed; 1.5 would be far better. We need to quit playing footsie with Intel; and we need something to shock the IT managers into giving AMD a chance. Don't waste this opportunity' as Intel won't keep on screwing up forever.
