Re:Maybe true. I expect the lead will change hands, maybe several times. In all candor, the Coppermine's lead is not huge, and may not last for long, but at least it proves that those who wrote off Coppermine as "hopelessly behind" now are proven wrong. I had to admit I was wrong about Athlon when it proved to perform better than I expected. I survived. You guys will too. Finally a post from someone that sounds like something other than a cry baby pi**ing match. Yes Coppermine has many pluses and yes the lead will change again. For now the only thing for AMD investors to be concerned with is the question of AMD's return to profitably on a quarter after quarter basis. ajb

Re: "Not for long according to my sources." that little message of yours just placed yourself high on my ranking elmer, nice one, I liked it. maybe time that some "AMDroids" and "intellabees" do the same and just look at whats there instead of overbiassed talk...it doesnt buy any of us anything. FHWL, Michael.

Coppermine's business performance was expected, but I didn't expect it to do THAT well in synthetic FPU tests. We will give you the same BS when the Athlon 750 comes out, and you will return it when Coppermine 800 comes out, and ... (Unless AMD can pull away. ;) )

Re: "I had to admit I was wrong about Athlon when it proved to perform better than I expected. I survived. You guys will too." I'm withholding judgement on the Coppermine until I see how it benchmarks on a for-real available system. I suppose that means either a BX based motherboard, or an 820 (when available). I'm guessing that in both cases Athlon will slightly outperform the Coppermine clock for clock. Intel has its work cut out for it after this AMD-like "stealth" launch. Kevin
