<I sincerely believe that Raza quit because he wanted to downsize AMD's fabs to reduce AMD overheads> Do you have anything more than your sincere believes to offer? <I know that I will be roasted by the AMD fans, but I cannot divulge my reasons for the above assertions.> Roasting sincere believes? Why bother? Kap.

SaturnV, < ..the AMD 486 microcode was.. > You may continue to speak about "blatant lie" if you can explain to the thread in formal terms what is the "486 microcode" in legals. Let us see how do you fare. So far there were NO PERSON on SI (including major activists Engel, nihil, etc.) who could explain the terminology above the level of tabloid-like statements like yours. Go ahead, show off your comprehension, so we could understand of what was "clean room implemented" and what was just a necessity to make AMD chips formally compatible to x86.

Saturn, An interesting post of yours from last summer- I sincerely believe that Raza quit because he wanted to downsize AMD's fabs to reduce AMD overheads, and cut AMD's break even revenue point. Sanders, the perennial optimist, could not consider it. He is a gambler and is betting the company and all the shareholders money, for his last roll of the dice. Raza was more pragmatic and wanted to keep AMD alive if the K-7 ramp does not meet Sanders wild dreams. Scumbria
