Re: "As for Intel's design team(s), one could argue that maximizing design life is very cost effective. Haven't the K5, K6, and now K7 had / have / will have, 3 different cores in the same period when Intel has been selling the PPro core and it's variants? One could argue that the PPro is the most successful core of all time for CPU's, based on the above criteria (ability to make a sustained profit). If I were a designer of such a product, I don't believe I would be embarrassed." Hey, you do a pretty good job expressing yourself. You captured a very important point. AMD supporters believe the best design is the one with the best architectural foil presentation. Intel investors realize the best design is the one with the best financial results. This is the essential difference between the two camps and it isn't likely to change. EP
