RE <<<The AMDroids are still trying to cling to that one, little, momentary glimmer of hope that found the Athlon temporarily holding the title of "FASTEST x86 PROCESSOR IN ALL THE LAND".>>> Actually there a sense of relief.....it put us under so much pressure.....having to have the fastest, the biggest and the best of everything all the time. And now we have the best of both worlds; expensive chips for which there is strong demand and little competition (we all know the cumine is VAPORWARE) and which raise AMD's ASPs significantly....and no pressure. RE <<<Now that that little token has been removed from their near-empty basket of AMD GOOD THINGS, they are confused, angry and are lashing out at us missionairies who have labored so long and hard to convince them of better investment opportunities.>>> I think the operative word here is TEMPORARY. After the short but very critical upcoming Xmas season during which cumine aka VAPORWARE holds the speed crown BUT permits significant sales benefits to accrue to the Athlon, AMD once again will foist upon us the title,"THE FASTEST CHIP IN ALL THE LAND". Remember my post a little bit back when I said the front runner lets his/her opponent think he's winning for a while because its to the advantage of the front runner.....well that analogy may well be very apropos here. Enjoy the speed crown while you can....UNFORTUNATELY YOU DO NOT WEAR IT WELL!! TED
