Re: Why is Intel doing this? My theory is that they are hoping to push AMD into an overly aggressive Athlon MHz ramp...

Why shouldn't they? That strategy sure has been a gigantic success for AMD hasn't it? Everybody's condemning Jerry Sanders for waving his few Athlon/Motherboard combo's around before any real volume was available and now Intel has all but blown off a foot in its rush to yank out the rambus/camino "big gun".

The thing is, it's going to be hard to make that particular gambit work at this point - I think AMD is pretty familiar with the strategy.

I wonder how long Sanders has known that rambus was iffy?
