Cringe - Re: "But this Intel Camino platform fiasco may help alleviate these problems AMD couldn't control, unlike Intel's problems!"

AMD controlled this problem : "Athlon is definitely a challenge that has a lot of people burning the midnight oil right now, in part because it uses a fast 200 MHz front side bus," the engineer said." Also AMD has not yet been able to get out boards that support two-way processors. That would really be competitive against the Intel Xeon line."

Cirruslvr,

It could have been worse. Presently, most of the second tier and DIY (do it yourself) motherboard supplies are from FIC. FIC is running at 60% capacity! Also, I don't see any serious problems with the chipsets. All these boards use Northbridge chip from AMD and the Southbridge chip from VIA which is a generic one (also used on socket7 boards).
