PB, <In a sense you are absolutely correct.> No. I am simply correct on this matter, without any excuses. <For the other 2/3's of the equation, I am relying on other sources besides my own head and gut.> I hope your sources are not Paul or Youseless :) :) <If AMD's MHz ramp does blow Intel out of the water, it won't be because of the process, and it would be due to "the architecture thingy".> You are correct, on the second part. However you said yourself on another occasion that what is important is the net result, right? Concerning your first part as "If AMD's MHz ramp does blow Intel out of the water", nobody is going to blow out anybody. This is wrong attitude. Intel-style :) There is no reason to. My guess is that from now AMD will ship parts with 50MHz higher at any time and to any Intel offerings. Just a little pressure, that's it. I think Intel better re-think their ambitions on taking over the world. They have lost the design contest in the key market. In result, they should prepare to quietly give up 25-30% of the market to AMD, stop the price war, and everybody will be happy (relatively). The other strategy will lead to exhausting clinch, so even it could be possible that some other hidden startup will come in and transform the whole market while the two idiots continue to slash each other for no reason. Just a wild speculation of course:)
