Scumbria, So NEXGEN brought little to the table...at great expense too. Still would AMD have been better off without the K6? It may have been better to not have a part instead of the fiasco that ensued. Eventually the K6 did earn it's keep and it might be that the California team has learned from the K6 path to the K6-3 to become a good complement to the Austin team. What is the Austin team doing now? follow on aspects of the Athlon? Chip sets, multiprocessor groupings etc? It would seem to me that there should be some combined oversight to make sure the effort is collaborative and fruitful instead of two enclaves that hate each other?? I know little of the internecine politics at AMD. But I hear that it is a nuisance at Intel. The success of the Athlon might just give Austin more seats at the table. Bill
