Goutama,

The RCS design wins have been kicked around on this thread a few months back and I do not recall anyone mentioning RCS doing any server chipsets for Athlon. Right now, I think the server chipsets are due to debut in the next quarter or so from AMD, Alpha, and probably Compaq. Hotrail seems to be a quarter or two behind them.

The comments from IBM indicate how much trouble Intel may have with Cascades. AMD has the opportunity to kick-butt BIG time.

I have a feeling we are seeing the most positive reviews of CuMine and the situation now. Slowly, the less-poetic ones should start hitting the presses and should go downhill from there.

Chuck

re: "some Coppermine-based (noteably with no copper interconnects) systems will be available at the same time as Intel's official announcement Monday, others won't actually arrive for weeks or even months."

Just who the heck does intEL think that it is: pauL's conceptualization of AMD?

Goutama,

Thanks for the article. The RCC chipset is news to me. Also the fact that Dell is finaly is using a non Intel chipset could be a positive for any hopes of them adopting the Athlon.

I am hearing that a large amount of K7 700 has been hitting the retail channel in the past few days.

The upgrade today also mentioned the "successfull ramp of the Athlon".

Now let's see MB and OEM's!
