Tenchusatsu,

<2) Intel is much, much more diversified than you imagine. If AMD executes well, that's great news for AMD, but in no way does that alone spell the doom of Intel.>

I do not remember ever predicting any doomsday scenarios for Intel. The only threat I see from AMD is reduction in profitability. Intel is a too established a company to be knocked down by one product. Even if Wilamette never sees the light of the day, Intel will still be there with 50%+ market share 2 years from now.

The valuation of Intel is under serious threat but that is a different story from saying that the company is in trouble.

Chuck

Re: "Athlon is a great chip, but definitely not as good as the name "seventh-generation technology" would lead me to believe."

I suggest you go run some benchmarks on a P55C-233 vs. a PII-233.
