Re: "If AMD is shipping enough 650 and 700 aluminum parts out of austin until dresden is ready (which seems somewhere between likely and inevitable at this point)Intel is still in an awkward position" This is truely unbelievable what these guys think is happening, when no MIA-thlons have ever appeared on the open market. I predict next week will bring more vapor and the AMDolts will be ecstatic. AMD will promise future shipments and the Faithful will see this as the downfall of Intel. Q3 will bring more huge loses and AMDolts will see this as proof of the downfall of Intel. Intel will post huge profits for Q3 and AMDolts will point to this as further proof of the downfall of Intel. EP

Re: You are Hallucinating ! If you check out: kryotech.com you'll be delighted to read: =================================================== KryoTech Demonstrates Gigahertz Computer KryoTech Super-G? based on thermally-accelerated AMD-K7? processor will ship to customers this year NEW YORK, NY, April 29, 1999 /PRNewswire/ -- At the AMD 1999 annual shareholders' meeting here today, KryoTech and AMD demonstrated the KryoTech Super-G? computer running at 1 GHz (1,000 MHz or one billion cycles per second). The Super-G is based on a thermally-accelerated AMD-K7? processor and KryoTech's newest cooling system. KryoTech expects to deliver the Super-G to customers at speeds up to and including 1 GHz. =========================================================== The kryotech technology is supposed to be good for up to a 20-30% increase in clock speed. They'll have to be getting some 700's by the "late summer" release date or both AMD and Kryotech look ridiculous (of course, they could claim that their customers voted for a delay :-) , that would dispell all doubts). I don't think that AMD would have risked this particular announcement (which didn't really gain them much) if they hadn't been pretty much certain that they'd be able to pull this off. That's the basis for my "between likely and inevitable" statement. Dan
