Frank - RE: Your analogy

One BIG difference - AMD ain't sitting pretty.

Unlike Intel, which only had some pretty good on-chip cache, an ability to use faster RAM, and a better chipset to compete with the Athlon, AMD has core enhancements planned for the Athlon ALONG with the other stuff planned for future Athlons.

I don't have any idea what these enhancements are (Ace's is supposed to have an article up soon in which they claim to have some info, but they are having hosting problems so it won't be up for a few days), but I would expect them to help this future Athlon better compete with Willamette.

Don't count the Athlon out.

We counted Cumine out and look at it now.

Re <<<I fear we have awakened the sleeping tiger." >>>

Sorry but you flatter intc. It wasn't sleeping but rather arrogantly floundering. And it thought it could get away with it because it underestimated its competitor....this story has been played out over and over in history and usually has the same ending.....and its never pretty.
