<Intel has proven quarter after quarter that selling the fastest x86 processor is not a good business model.> And AMD has proven quarter after quarter that having reoccuring production problems is a very poor business model. And judging from the abysmal stock performance even after the Athlon release, Wall Street seems to agree with me. Tenchusatsu

Re: "Intel has proven quarter after quarter that selling the fastest x86 processor is not a good business model" Wrong Scumbria. Intel proved it was the best business model, however, as we all concede, AMD has the fastest engineering samples out there now and they will prove that simply having the fastest processor isn't enough. You need a manufacturing infrastructure that can produce a product in volume, at profitable prices and with the required support systems. Simply being the fastest looked like it was enough but you really needed to look deeper. EP
