Whenever I feel like getting a contrarian view, I go to Sharky's but this time that is not working that well. I don't think this has been posted on this thread yet. From Mako, nonetheless! I think the world is ending. Don't worry Chuck, Mako and gang will have an opportunity to thrash us with the 750 review later this week. Does this cost cutting move dramatically affect the 750's performance level? Tune in later this week to find out?. There's no doubt that the 750 is not scaling as well as the Athlon's with the 1/2 speed cache (based on Anand and even the AMD benchmarks). Can frequency alone compensate? -Scot

RE "<With Paul and Yousef gone, maybe PB also (I hope not) we really need some contrarian views here.> Agreed - especially the PB part." Why? I think PB is a nice guy but if you think you are getting any insights into intc's operation or that he is balancing out the AMD view, I think you are fooling yourself. My sense of PB is that he has his own very singular agenda and he follows it fairly closely. And I don't blame him; after all he is an intc employee. He may be good for exchanging tech theories on a very general level and that's it. If this thread wants to thrive and survive, then I think it may need to go it alone from here, provide its own checks and balances and with AMD's recent successes begin to reduce some of the cheerleading and rather begin to analyze closely everything that is going on in the business and how well AMD's performance fits whats happening. That is why I post as much as I can any intc/chip news, good or bad for AMD. We might as well know what the competition is up to; even if it hurts. JMVHO! ted
