McJimbo - Re: "Still, I think MHZ captures the high ground and the Athlon should have that."

That MHz lead may not mean much when AMD becomes known as the HIGH PRICED, LIMITED EDITION brand - instead of the cheapo, cheapo ANYTHING BUT INTEL brand.

Buyers only liked AMD's parts when they were much cheaper than Intel's.

When they are more expensive, only the true anti-Intel zealots become AMD's market - and that is definitely a LIMITED EDITION segment.

Seems Intel and AMD have a tech agreement until yr 2000. AMD can't copy post P5 stuff, but can Intel copy K-7? Anybody know?

Seems the Treaty between AMD and Saxony forbids AMD drawing any assets from AMD-Saxony until all the AMD-S debt is paid. So AMD is is obligated to pay AMD-Saxony various amounts, but can't make anything from its investment. Sounds Sanders-Dumb to me. Fab 30 sounds like a deep black hole.
