Hi Chris,

This isn't to debate you (I'm using a T-bird myself right now -- excellent chip), I'm just looking for more information. Specifically, how is AMD going to deal with the following factors:

AMD's recent CPUs run insanely hot and future ones should run even hotter -- is it possible for them to release mobile versions of T-bird/Duron and does this matter? Is the heat going to be a problem even for the reliability of desktop computers? (Rumors are flying that a certain e-tailor was getting a ten-percent return rate on computers using T-bird 800s -- the serial # on the bottom of the case {just opposite the CPU} would often be too scorched to read. It sounds like an urban-myth, I know, but....)

SMP for T-birds (as far as I know) is promised to be close but is still vapor-ware.

Intel has the server market sown up. (You specifically mentioned AMD cracking this -- how?) Mission-critical apps demand trusted hardware.

Intel has the embedded market sown up. Again, mission-critical.

Regards,
-CLs
