Elmer, As for the Athlon running faster than any other x86 CPU, it seems that DELL doesn't think so, at least not for long. Translation: Dell ignored AMD for years, and is now last in line for allocation of K7. Scumbria

RE <<<With Coppermine in the pipeline, Intel looks as if it will regain the high ground.">>> The only ones who think that are the intc longs, the analysts with strong buys on intc (and we know how often they are wrong) and of course,you. How long in da nile, fudd? AMD closed up today while intc was down. A sign of things to come? ted

Elmer, Re:""With Coppermine in the pipeline, Intel looks as if it will regain the high ground." EP" Elmer cut the crap old boy. You were wrong about Athlons SPEC numbers. You were wrong wrt Athlon CPU speeds. You were wrong about Athlon VCC specs. Now you are wrong about Coppermine period. Lets see if Intel dares to publish any benchmarks at IDF. Or maybe we'll have to wait till 9/27. Some SPEC marks would be really interesting. And I would love to see them even if they use RDRAM and even relative percentages would be fine. regards, Kash

Elmer - RE: "With Coppermine in the pipeline, Intel looks as if it will regain the high ground." Do you think Cuontimemine will be an overall more powerful processor than the Athlon?

Elmer, What do you expect Dell to say!!? I'm sure that Intel will be trying very hard to "look like" it will regain the high ground. I have a friend that works at a large PC game development company. He told me last night that they have had a Dell only PC purchase policy for several years, but have changed it in order to get Athlon systems. I'm sure they are not the only ones. Pravin.

Elmer Re <<"With Coppermine in the pipeline, Intel looks as if it will regain the high ground.">> You are a selective reader, he also said this: "We don't have any visibility of AMD's Dresden plant being able to get up to speed and supply in the necessary bulk," Meaning: we would love to have the Athlon, but we have to wait to make sure they can execute on the manufacturing front. The article also said this: the Athlon 650MHz is undoubtedly the current darling of the technology press, with impressive Intel-crushing benchmark results coming out of every test lab both sides of the Atlantic.
