Re: "what is really stupid is that a group of engineers started work on an 64 bit Intel architecture, worked for a couple of years and then a pointy haired guy scrapped the project, went outside the company to get help and they have been working almost 6 years. Now that's stupid; especially considering that it runs at less than 800 MHz and can be used as an oven in your kitchen.:

What is wrong with 800 MHz?

How fast is AMD's 4-way SMP CPU solution?

As for heat - why don't you sing the praises of the ThumperBurn's 66 watt power dissipation ?

At least Intel was smart enough to make sure power dissipation of one product didin't screw them out of the mobile PC market - as AMD apparently WASN'T smart enough to do.
