Scumbria, Re: "There you go again talking like a green engineer. I'm very green. I've been through about 15 CPU tapeouts, 9 or 10 chipset tapeouts, and about to do my first graphics tapeout. How many CPUs have you designed?" Actually I was inferring that you were a green engineer regarding your simplistic anticipation that AMD should drop everything and produce solely K7's due to their higher ASP's/margins. In general you are probably the most knowledgeable poster on x86 design/architecture issues - and based on your CPU tape-outs one can see why. Regarding the number of CPU tapeouts that I have been involved in the answer is zero. ( Number of ASIC tapeouts is in 3 digits however). Although I now no longer consider myself an engineer anymore. PS Goodluck on your tapeout. Regards, Kash Johal.
