Mani Re <<My source for this information has been very reliable in the past - as you know.>>

Sorry to inform you but Paul was dead on with his info well before it was public knowledge several times. For example, a few months back he was the first I saw posting that there was a huge overhang of unsold K6 chips and was the only one posting that info (from his sources) back then. He was abused verbally with great sarcasm back then on this thread, and was dead right. I think the only issue here is whether his sources were/are accurate in their assessment.

We are all free to make our own judgements.

Regards,
Burt

Mani - Re: "No I don't know. Your source told you 2.6 "Jacked up voltage" and 60 W power for the K7. Both turned out to be completely false"

No.

The voltage was FALSE - the POWER dissipation was REAL CLOSE.

By the way - did you notice that AMD dropped $3/4 today?

Maybe the Dresden news is "leaking out" !
