nus boy - Re: "This is the first time in years Intel engineers
have been challenged to design a new chip form scratch perhaps they forgot how difficult the task is."

AMD sure knows how hard it is.

The last CPU they designed from scratch was the K5 - a complete, miserable FAILURE !

AMD had to spend $800,000,000 to buy NexGEN to get the K6 which the K6-2 and K7 are based upon.
