AMD'ers. How many times have we had this critizism pounded into our eyeballs by the Intellabees? Vindication at last! Linley Gwennap, the respected industry pundit and editor of The Microprocessor Report, a Sebastopol, Calif.-based newsletter, thinks it is the law of averages catching up with the chip giant. "The chip business is a tough business and the schedule slips happen quite often," he says. Everyone from Sun Microsystems (nasdaq: SUNW) to AMD has faced this problem at one time or another, Gwennap points out. "I think for the past few years Intel was on a roll and we forgot that this could happen to Intel as well," says Gwennap. "For a couple of years they managed to get some products out on time without any snags. Now I think the odds are catching up with them."
