<And he was damn right. The K6-200 beat the crap out of Pentium-Pro-200 at that time in any business benchmarks. Check your facts.>
Oh yeah, I forgot that back then we were still living in a world of 16-bit applications. Thanks for pointing out that the K6-200 was designed with the past in mind, while the P6 was designed with the future in mind.
(And yes, Brian, that last sentence was extremely biased and unnecessary.)
<Here we are again, you never learn. Sure, the FDIV-bug was reliably reproduceable. The FIST flag error (or whatever) was also readily avalable. The F00F deadlock is still available in many P5 computers, MMX included... The Xeon ECC contention was more obscure, I am ready to agree here.>
Isn't it great to know that after the Pentium FDIV fiasco, Intel will fall head-over-heels to reveal every single bug as soon as its discovered and confirmed? Meanwhile, AMD decided to wait three months before telling customers about Win95's failure to boot up on some K6-2 machines.
<It is coming, and still coming, and market share are coming out, and out of Intel...>
Hee, hee, Ali, you're a funny guy. Care to tell me how AMD will take market share away from Intel when AMD is currently capacity-constrained?
