Imaging what Michael Dell is thinking about right now? Compaq will be ahead in Mhz soon after the K7 release; So is IBM, and Gateway (Ted Waitt's brilliance in adopting K6-2 early). To call Jerry and declare independence from Intel as soon as possible!

<Chuck - re: Just in case you don't see the INTC thread: Paul posted some fine updates on the CuMine problems. Very informative to gauze what it means to AMD.> Chuck what is your assessment according to Paul's data? It looks like the P6 core has hit the MHz wall and Intel needs to requalify the process to squeeze more juice out of the dead horse. They have been doing the speed-path work on the P6 core for years. I doubt this is a speed-path glitch that can be easily corrected. Kap.

Charles, I don't usually spend much time on the INTC thread but on your recommendation I checked out Paul's posts. All I can say is that it can't be the same PE that posts on this thread. The other PE is downright civilized and courteous. Jeez in some of his posts he is almost complementary toward AMD. What gives? The rest of the thread however needs to move beyond such phrases as "stock manipulation", "dammed analysts" and my personal favorite "the SEC really should look into this". A couple of minor downgrades caused by a few insignificant production problems really gets them all worked up. Sounds a lot like the whining that goes on over here on occasion. ajb
