<I still don't buy off on the idea that AMD has a poor track record in production. They have been under great time pressure, and that magnifies every glitch. Intel is now in the same boat where every delay becomes a major news item.> Remember what Atiq Raza of AMD said: "Profits are a good deodorant for Intel, hiding their mistakes. But we stink. Our mistakes show up on the bottom line." So when you have no profits to show, your production track record is going to look very poor. (No need to reply with your standard issue "Intel's a monopoly" statement.) Tenchusatsu

Scum-baby, Whatever you want to attribute it to, AMD's financial performance is AWFUL, de facto! I lost $$ in AMD a year and a half ago when they really had a chance but couldn't produce. I see no reason to think that will change and, it appears, many of their customers have recognized the same thing. Nevertheless, as a consumer, I sure hope AMD doesn't go under or get out of the x86 business, it's good for us, the consumer, though not so good for the investor. What IS your explanation for so many AMD failures?? later, leroyt
