Certainly the response has been, ah, vigorous. My feewings have been so tewwibwy hurt! I'm interested in just how excited microprocessor people get about the products. You don't see ASIC people getting so worked up. To repeat an earlier comment, I think this has to do with microprocessors' historical importance when people were starved for processing power. This is coupled with the adversarial Intel-AMD relationship, which takes the form, for example, of Paul Engel appearing to hate AMD more than he loves Intel. I wonder if microprocessors will take center stage again in the future when bandwidth issues are resolved. Suffice it to say I am an investor in neither AMD nor Intel. I frankly don't think either company has, from a stock price point of view, a bright future. Thanks to all for your comments and ideas, and good luck to all, long and short, as we await AMD's own comments on the 19th.
