dan - <Sometimes there are advantages to being number 2. AMD will need to supply fewer top speed grade systems than Intel until it has finished establishing itself as a competitor at the high end.> That's one way of looking at it. :-). <Speaking of which, I thought that Cumine needed an MTH to run SDRAM on the motherboards that support coppermine. And isn't the MTH a performance killer? Which leaves effective motherboard availability limited to a few hundred K units for Q4 since that's all the rambus that's available.> I hope the availability of adequate MB/Memory is better than this. <Can Cumine run OK on MTH systems? If any magazines start doing 100MHZ SDRAM to 100MHZ SDRAM comparisons, Cumine could end up (unfairly) looking pretty bad.> Unfortunately, I consider myself under embargo relative to commenting on Coppermine performance and benchmarks. I am really really hoping that within the next couple of weeks Intel will be communicating with the press on the Coppermine roadmap, and address performance questions in kind. PB
