PB,

<<Nice spin! AMD used to be flayed for deviating from Intel's historic norm.>

The situations should become less as painful as more capacity comes on line. You can't make Coppermines on .25>

I do not disagree. I expect Intel to ship quite a few CuMines this quarter in the 750 and less speed grades (some 800s too but not much by Intel's standards).

I have maintained for a while that CuMine vs. Athlon is a Q1 battle and that Intel wouldn't have launched CuMIne in Q4 if not for the competitive threat from AMD.

CuMine in Q4 was a good tool Intel used to keep a few key sockets and probably was well worth the effort.
