Joe: So if Paly has SSE, the decision to keep it secret (after say November 2000) has a net negative effect for the company

Ahhh, but that depends on how you look at it. Is "the company" the short-medium term share value? Or is it the really long term value?

If AMD announcing SSE and SSE2 support would make Intel move up its plans - or even just make new ones for the longer term - AMD might be right in keeping it to itself.

However, I basically agree with you - I'm just trying to convey how I think Jerry's line of reasoning goes: Share valuation isn't really a priority with him - as long as he can do what's best for the company (in his mind), AMD's market cap will reflect that at some point.

Personally, I think odds are good that Intel know exactly what Palomino has to offer and in that case it really is just AMD investors who are being held in the dark.
