Stephen, We are off to a good start, shipping tens of thousands of Athlon (chips) in the just completed quarter", said Chief Operating Officer W.J. Sanders during AMD's second-quarter earnings conference call July 14... Intel ships somewhere around 20,000,000 CPU chips per quarter. A few tens of thousands of a competitor chip is nothing. He noted at the time that the company is "confident" it can produce 1 million Athlon chips in the fourth quarter. Still nothing. Also, take what Sanders says and add time, lots of time. By the time AMD can make enough of these to make a damn, Intel, a very fast moving very big company when they have to be, will have them by the short hairs again, IMO. I see from an article posted on the AMD thread that Athlon has 60 errata that require workarounds, and that it requires "a relatively complex and expensive six-layer motherboard..." They call that ready for production? I wonder what ever happened to that ugly power supply it required. I have to believe that AMD is rushing this chip out there. Tony
