re : I'd rather have it that the demand was such that it exceeded expectations You are being terribly biassed here, PB. That dissapoints me ... When AMD had delivery problems, it wasnt "huge demand" but "manifacturing problems" So you say, there is to much demand for Alumniumines, thus intel did not produce enough units , because demand exceeded their expectations. A little while back, elmer/you/etc said : AMD cant deliver enough cpu's, thus its a fab problem. (as in, manifacturing difficulties) . There is no physical difference between the two, as the result is that certain cpu's are scarce in the market. Now ... where do you make the border between "production problems" and "to high demand" FHWL, Michael.

PB re <<demand was such that it exceeded expectations, rather than the other way around.>> You can keep on saying that, but it won't make it true. Coppermine are not around regardless of what the demand is. Intel has screwed it up big time, why is so hard for you to see that? You were first in line criticizing the Athlon launch due to lack of availability. Now with Intel, you are saying that demand is too good. I am sure Intel will have Coppermine in volume at some point. But that does not change the fact that it offered a phantom launch to fulfil a promise and to regain the MHz lead from AMD. A fairly desperate act and a first one for Intel in a very long time. Mani
