John, >>>You really have to give AMD some credit. With limited resources, compared to Intel, they have managed to bring to market a faster chip.<<< This is a "me too" company that has put all its resources into squeeking out a faster chip. It's not like they have come out with a next generation faster chip. If you were an automobile manufacturer, I suppose you can put a focus on max speed (forget about accelleration, cornering, stopping, and other performance ratios) and build a car that is faster (top speed) than a BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc., but will it be as successful (profitable)? There are a lot of other aspects to an automobile other than top speed and as we have learned on this thread from Tony, Paul, and others, there are a lot more to a chip than its pure speed - there is also reliability, scalability, market segmentation, compatibility (with motherboards), support, manufacturability and a host of other issues. Jerry Sanders is a salesman and has a proven 30 year track record of not enriching anyone else except for himself. This formula has worked for him over the years, why should he change? It doesn't seem like he can retain top talent for any length of time, suggesting that he uses people until Usees eventually leave. Whatever AMD does however, doesn't necessarily have much to do with how Intel performs. IMO, Intel has a culture that pushes the technological envelope and taking commensurate risk better than any company on earth. My only complaint is with their investor relations efforts. Oh, well... that's just another story. Mary
