Hi Paul:

Re:"AMD smart money is betting that Willy will suck in FP performance just like Merced sucks in integer."

And suck just like Intel Q4 production of top end PWeeIII's sucked resulting in no sequential growth in Q4, one of the greatest microprocessor quarters ever!

Promises, promises, Paul...New theme song for you and your Intel cronies!

KalKan - Re: "AMD smart money is betting that Willy will suck in FP performance just like Merced sucks in integer."

You're right.

I'd be shorting Intel right and left - if I was AMD Smart Money !

Are you "daring" enough to do this again ?

Or buy some Wussy Puts ?

Paul

Kap,

Re:"willy will suck at FP and merced suck on integer"

Don't tell me Intels got it all WRONG again!!!!

You need great FP on desktops for games etc. Multi-threading sure wont help on those alien blasting benchmarke!!!

Obviously you need awesome integer and clock rates for servers - no wonder Merced may be dropped for McKinley!!!

Sounds like crossed wires at Intel!!!

regards,

Kash
