RE:"Pentium Pro - Feb. 1995 (November 1995 Production)

Pentium II - April, 1997 Production

Pentium III - February 1999 Production.

Do you want to know how much PROFITS were made on these devices ?

Hint, Hint, Winky, Winky: Any number greater than ZERO exceeds the total profits of
AMD on ALL their K6, K6-2 and K7 derivatives."...

Thanks, so it took Intel 36+ months to bring the P6 to market and at slower speeds than the regular Pentium. So AMD still isn't doing too bad.

As far as profits. Yes I realize this. You must think your're talking to a purist like Scumbria who views the competition between Intel and AMD in a different light. I've taken accounting and securities analysis....
