Epinephrine - <Greetings, please do not associate me with Kapkan4u's post. I have nothing against him personally and am very long on AMD but nevertheless strongly agree with you that his question makes very little sense and your claim is very clear. I am interested in that claim and this is as good a post as any to reply to. You claim that Willamette will have the MHz lead over Athlon and I know that given your position you cannot tell me what you thing Willamette's speed will be when it is released but I am hoping that you will allow me to reverse the question and will tell me what you think the Athlon will be running at when Willamette is released. That would put your response in the realm of educated guesswork and would not violate your NDA.> Honestly, I don't know. These are general predictions. I do not know for sure what speed even Willamette will be released at. Hte events that would lead to such a thing are in the future. Athlon will be well above 1GHz by the end of the year though, IMHO. IMHO, Intel will be also. I just made a bet with kash that Intel will be ahead in MHz by the end of the year, due to reasons I cited that I perceive will enable this, i.e., process + new design. It is just a prediction though. As with any forward looking statements, I may be wrong. It'll hit my wallet a little bit if I am. :-). PB
