AMD Spending more than it can.

November 8 - AMD's New Athlon TV Commercial to boast Faster than a Pentium III at any Speed. In its usual smart
business approach, AMD has decided to spend some more money it doesn't have to proclaim to US consumers on National
TV that its Athlon is, "faster than a Pentium III at any speed."
The commercial will air for the first time on Sunday, November 14, 1999, on prime-time television. The new commercial will
run through the holiday season, nationwide on the ABC network and ESPN. It will appear on prime-time shows like
Monday Night Football, Spin City, The Practice, The Drew Carey Show and during ABC's Thanksgiving-night movie,
Forest Gump.
<While AMD's speed claim certainly was true prior to the October 25th launch of the Coppermine E series Pentium IIIs, it
is not supported by independent testing today. This is just another example of AMD's usual business practice of a day late
and a dollar short.>
