AlibiDan - Re: "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." Oh yeah - AMD has performed a MIRACLE !! Flash sales are BOOMING and the FLASH profits may even be enough to OFFSET the CPU losses at AMD this quarter ! And AMD may post a small PROFIT when everybody in this industry has been making superb profits for the past YEAR ! Re: "One of the two companies does appear to making progress relative to the other, but I think you've reversed the positions." You are confusing Press Releases with PROGRESS ! What is AMD's future roadmap ? See anything there besides CPUS and FLASH ? You know how well AMD did on CPUs and Flash LAST YEAR - just wait until the next GLUT appears - and you can pencil in some more losses for AMD. Paul

Re: "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." Looks now like the notched gate process cheat is going to get Intel to 800 MHz. Kudos to Intel, but this isn't any better than cranking up the voltage a notch or two to improve speed bins. It seems clear to me that the end result is substandard--a reduction in long term processor reliability. Kevin
