RE <<<Maintaining the megahertz lead IS about marketing.>>> Only partly...there are other concerns that come into play. But my point is more concerned with making $. You can talk about the fastest cpu all you want but we've seen that that doesn't insure AMD will make a profit nor move its stock. Assuming that AMD has the 750 ready to go, I would hold back for a while....get the most $wise out of the 700s before you bring out the 750s and higher. If you have to cross the desert and you have 10 gals of water to do it with, you don't drink it all before you start to prove you have enough to make the crossing. You ration it out to your best advantage. If AMD does have the 750, then they are in control of this game and the smart player uses that to its benefit and bottom line. I am sorry the thread doesn't see the importance of this strategy, assuming that that is what they are doing. If AMD doesn't have the 750 ready, then they don't and nothing more can be said. The race becomes an open crap shoot again. ted
