Re: Re: AMD may be a few months behind... Hmmm... "the process company" was going to be shipping .18 parts in, what was it, May? June? And they became available in November? December? Meanwhile AMD had .18 on its roadmap for January, and the systems are shipping now. Those notched gates may be a performance boon, but they seem to be a production boondoggle. Well, I'm sure that the production teams at Intel will pull it off - we all know how good they are. But timing is everything in this business, and poor strategic decisions by Intel top management are starting to take their toll. If the generals are bad enough, the best troops in the world can't win the battle - and considering how well the far smaller AMD teams have been doing these days, you might want to think about giving them a little credit for once. One of the two companies does appear to making progress relative to the other, but I think you've reversed the positions. Dan
