Re: "You were the one who expressed the most doubt about Dresden and on-chip L2. Your worries were answered in one big swoop. Your AMD long position is looking better than ever. I hope you haven't written calls against it yet."

One demo doth not a product make. It's better by a mile than no demo, but I remain skeptical. If Willamette does demo, regardless of the speed, and I don't expect it to reach 1.4 GHz, keep in mind this is the first silicon. The A-0 on a process that has yet to reach full volume production. No speed path work or process optimization done whatsoever.

I wrote Feb $40 CCs on my AMD shares. If I lose them I will just write more puts but this time closer to the money. If I don't lose them I will still write more puts and then buy AMD shares with the proceeds. I have nothing out of my pocket in AMD whatsoever and I don't intend to.

Kap - RE: "So I hear that Willy (TM, Cirruslvr)"

Aw shucks, now what gave you an idea like that? ;)

"Some nagging feeling that they are not telling the whole story about Willy's wonderful achievement."

I wonder how Intel will market it. You don't think Intel would just call the processor 1.4GHz and leave it at that, even if the some units don't run that fast, do you?
