Nice interview with Drew

I don't think this has been posted yet. Extreme asks some nice questions. For example:

EH: What's your take on the rumors that Intel is lowering Pentium-III prices to undercut the Athlon?

AMD: I don't know anything about Intel's pricing strategy, so I can't really offer any comment. Look at the performance numbers on the benchmarks we have released so far. Regardless of the pricing strategy they take, we plan to demonstrate a significant performance advantage over the current generation of x86 CPUs

Even better:

EH: Is AMD working on an unannounced, undisclosed, unofficial, unnamed 64-bit processor for some undetermined time in the future? <g>

AMD: I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of said product, being developed under said timeline, incorporating said features. ;) With that out of the way, the answer is yes.

He says further that they still plan on shipping more than 20 mil k6s this year. This is a good interview.

Chuck Re <<industry folks are talking about AMD at 750MHz and Intel at 667MHz for this Christmas.
Wake-up man - just about the only hope for Intel is continued delays from AMD.>>

At AMD's capacity of 1 million CPU/Q Intel is far from being in trouble. But that is enough to make AMD and its shareholders happy. :)
