<AMD's Last Chance> I noticed that with todays Intel announcement of 350 & 400 mhz versions of the PII processor, AMD is now 3 speed grades behind, 333,350 & 400. I believe this is the widest gap ever. In terms of frequency, Intel's top of the line processor is a full 33% faster than AMD's top of the line( 400/300), also the widest gap ever. In absolute numbers, AMD is 100mhz behind Intel, again the widest gap ever. Furthermore, AMD has just posted their worst loss ever. AMD is broke and falling farther behind the performance curve. Socket7 is all but dead and the market move to slot1 is undeniable. Intel's 100mhz bus is here and it will further speed the demise of socket7. AMD has no equivilant (other than promises). I think it is indeed the last chance for AMD, that is if it isn't already too late. EP
