Tench - Re: Like Elmer said, if the Athlon were owned and manufactured by any other semiconductor company, or even if Jerry Sanders were to be given the boot, Intel could be in serious trouble. How about this scenario (not exactly likely, I know): Samsung buys a controlling part of AMD. Fires Sanders. Drops the AMD name and markets the K7 as an Alpha. Uses a fraction of their disposable cash to start building two more fabs (2billion a pop). Buys the Alpha development from CMPQ (if they are allowed to - I don't recall the specifics of the FTC agreement). Ramps up 21264/750 and K7 production (Alpha K7). Sigh. At least Samsung would have a better size to take on Intel. And a better management (duh!). --fyodor
