Re: "Bill, Intel typically has four times as many errata as AMD. This is true at all levels -- trivial, work-aroundable, and serious."

While true keep in mind that the pioneers are the ones who catch the arrows.

Petz, Even Elmer admits this. Yet the Athlon beat the P-III to market. So there must be some basic procedural reason for this. One cannot say the Athlon copied the P-III or any other Intel processor and thus avoided the errors via shortcuts. There must be some level of excellence that Intel does not have that AMD does have....and this scares Intel and explains why they want to kill AMD. Fear os a strong motivator.
