Dan3: The AU1500's listed expected uses include "internet infrastructure products such as routers and line cards." It's an embedded processor that's perfect for such tasks - and it integrates in two NICs, as well, making it "even perfect-er." :-) The fact that AMD had a component last quarter that can do in one chip what Intel hopes to be able to do with two or three (one or two nic interface chips and a dedicated processor chip) next quarter, doesn't take away from the elegance and utility of AMD/Alchemy's design. Dan, you are incorrigible. In every set of facts, you see only what you want to see. One last try: a TOE and a NIC are two completely different things. The function of a Transmission Off-load Engine is to&#133 well&#133 take the load off of the CPU, by handling much of the work needed when processing TCP/IP frames. Needless to say, the TOE works in concert with the NIC and does not overlap in functionality. Intel starts pushing strata flash and AMD comes up with mirror bit. That's a really bad example, considering how long mirror bit has been delayed. -fyo
