@GG - decisions // Lima
Completly right - here is again a bad move:

dailytech.com

AMD expects to launch Sparta in September 2007 in 256KB and 128KB L2 configurations. Sparta arrives as a replacement for Orleans and Manila-core processors and is essentially a 65nm die-shrink of Manila.

I can't understand, what AMD is doing these days. They seem
to be so stupid. Intel is going fast to a complete C2D lineup
and even lower end CPUs from them are now much better com-
pared to old Netburst-style stuff. AMD should recognize this.
It makes sense to end A64 in SC lines and drive DC down, which
is already done, but their Sempronlineup looks weaker every
week. Could be already seen at the prices, which are way be-
low year ago levels. Instead of going to 65nm and 128/256 small
Cache versions, they should switch existing 90nm A64 512KB SC
down to 65nm. Use these "new" DIEs and label it "new Sempron".
They add Speed, drive TDP down and they could compete very
well with Intels low-end ones. Instead they choose to cripple
again these versions just to save a few mm^2. I can't say it
often enough - who is making all these bad decisions? Before
these new modells are already on the market, we could guess,
that they have to be priced so low, because performance will
not a big strength - frustrating for AMD investors.
