Paul Re <<Why are YOU so SURE that Intel hasn't been SANDBAGGING their Coppermine launch ?>>

LOL, get real. Coppermine 733 are no where to be found as volumes are small. This is not a typical Intel launch, not even close.

If Intel was sand-bagging they would not announce a speed grade with very little available volume.

Re: "You did read Sharky Extreme's 800 MHz Coppermine (Overclocked as high as 866 MHz !) benchmark review - did you not?"

Paul, overclockers have .25u Athlons over 1GHz. And these aren't cherrypicked engineering samples either, like Sharky's was.

Try not to get too excited, Paul--Intel sandbagging the launch, LOL!!

IMHO this this weak-*ss, stealth Coppermine launch is a MOMENT OF TRIUMPH for AMD.
