Dear Paul:

But AMD has delivered SMP CPUs, the 386, the 486, the K5, the whole K6 family (you can run K6-3/400 on a dual CPU socket 7 (TX, etc) running at 66 MHz). How soon you forget.

Tbird is the fastest x86 CPU in the world (1.5+ GHz in a third parties hands, yet).

Tbirds are also used in the workstation and server markets. They do not need SMP to go fast. Twin Xeon 733 MHz (which you could hardly get (talk to Compaq and Dell)) are not as fast in scientific number crunching as a 850 MHz Athlon. You can get 1G Tbirds (1.1G in six days) plus motherboards for less than a single Xeon 733 MHz motherboard combo (its no contest, if you include >1GB RAM).

Pete
