<How can you blame AMD management for lack of a top tier server win, ....>

This is ridiculous. Who else do you hold accountable? Why do yopu think AMD developed these products?

<...for example? Exactly what would you have done differently? >

Lots of things and I have posted about these many times over the last couple of years.

<Why don't you blame Compaq and IBM, instead of Jerry?>

The fundamental tenet of any supplier is "customer is always right". It is pretty funny even to imagine that Compaq and IBM should be blamed for AMD not able to sell its products.

<Intel has new server products every six months. Whoever picks Athlon MP first will certainly not get favorable pricing or (less important) allocation from Intel, so a stalemate will continue until enough middle tier players start taking market share away from the big guys. That's a fact of life and will take time to change.>

So why do you think Jerry kept talking about imminent corporate design wins for almost a couple of years now?

Quite amused by the post.....
