Ten, <but because the information I have directly contradicts yours.> What kind of information could possibly fly around a recent college-graduate at a big company like Intel? Do you expect your management to tell you about glitches in management of a strategic program, especially if you are not explicitly in that program? Do you expect your management to say that your yet unreleased product is expected to perform below competition? Or disseminate actual benchmark results? That would be a very stupid management indeed. I don't believe Intel management is that stupid. Therefore your "information" is most likely just upbeat expectations steamed from typical program managers, nothing more. You seem to have a good manager :)

Tenchusatsu, <I don't know where you get the idea that Willamette "was one of the most terribly managed programs," > Of all the things I said I thought this was the obvious one! Clearly, the results are in - due to the delays on Wilamette, AMD is taking the lead in x86 market. <In other words, I really hate to say this because it sounds like such a cop-out, but we'll just have to agree to disagree.> I was avoiding writing that post about Wilamette for a long time (2 months at least). Because, I can't substantiate it - but since you wanted to know where I stood on Wilamette, I decide to post. Yes, we disagree and we will not have anything to support one party or another for a long time to come - I will leave that there. Chuck
