McPanic - Re: "now that AMD has developed the worlds fastest x86 cpu, the time is right for AMD to get out of the CPU business...right Paul?"

Good choice of words - "developed".

One day they will have to manufacture it in volume.

Sure doesn't look like that day has come yet.

Jim, re:Oops, NSM and VIA have sneaked around Intels licensing agreements....I
guess Cyrix hasn't gone away...Hummmmm.

This deal will hurt AMD a lot more than it will Intel. Unless you agree with some of your AMD-dillusioned friends on this thread that AMD will all of a sudden be a "high-end" CPU maker over the next year <ggg>. Plus, something tells me VIA is now much more interested in making 133 than debugging Slot A for AMD.
