fyodor: One year ago the INTC high end PC space was unassailable according to many here. The 1.2 gig Athy is quiet testimony of the error in thinking of many that prevailed just 12 months ago...AMD now has its sights set on the workstation, mobile and lowend server spaces for Y2001...I, for one, am not discounting the possibility of a level of success by AMD in these spaces in Y2001 that may even exceed their level of success in the high end PC space over the past 12 months... What many here seem to overlook, is that record revenues and earnings have accompanied the evolution of the "spry Athy"...If the "spry Athy" hadn't been profitable from the outset and was a drag on revenue growth and earnings, AMD might have a need to accelerate its entry into these other spaces...AMD is currently generating, not losses as occur with the introduction of most new products in their first year, but record revenues and earnings with the "spry Athy" derivative products...AMD will enter these new spaces when AMD has the best price/performance product to offer, as has been the case in the PC space...Again, with record revenues and earnings, AMD is not compelled to rush additional product to market, and imho, won't until such new product meets AMD's criteria of the best price/performance product in that new space...I suspect we'll know a little more about AMD's Y2001 plans for these new spaces over the course of the next week(Comdex) and month (DDR)...
