Dave - Re:"...how many of those NexGen engineers were recruited from Intel?" Vinod Dham was the most high profile recruit. He actually came to NexGEN in mid-1995 as VP of operations. This was quite late in the history of NExGEN, but only months before the AMD buy-out was arranged. Strictly speaking, Vin Dham is a high level manager. Other than that, NexGEN hired very few, if any, Intel engineers. This was done as part of their strategy to remain free of any legal entanglements from Intel. Vin Dham's case was unique. Although he was the design program manager for the Pentium, his departure from Intel was (probably undeservedly) a fall out of the Pentium FDIV fiasco of late 1994. Paul
