Ted, <And now that you are being held accountable for these implied, messiah-like capabilities of cumine and its ability to thwart the Athlon>

I think you've been reading messages from an imposter Process Boy, because the messages I've seen from him hardly refer to Coppermine as a "messiah." He has said time and time again that Coppermine will remain "competitive" with Athlon, at least in clock speeds. He never said that Coppermine will slay Athlon.

ted - <PB, come on. You and the other intc longs, but specifically you, referred to the cumine as if it were the second coming (and no I will not pull up your posts to prove it to you). Clearly those posts were intended to blunt the euphoria on this thread over the Athlon.

And now that you are being held accountable for these implied, messiah-like capabilities of cumine and its ability to thwart the Athlon, you become indignant....and claim this thread is being unreasonable>

If that's how you interpret what I've written, I'm sorry. My position has been the Coppermine will be competitive with the Athlon in various aspects. I have said this repeatedly. This does not infer that the Coppermine will slay Athlon. What I have tried to convey is that in many quarters, several aspects of the Coppermine product have been underestimated, specifically w.r.t. to MHz scalability, and performance.
