PB, >>Both camps meaning there are 2 camps that think AMD will hit 1.4, or both Intel and AMD hit 1.4 by EOY?>

The latter. The highest published rumor number for GHz at the end of the year is 1.4 for both Intel and AMD. This is probably
subject to change, IMO.<<

That is the right answer. Thanks. And they were wondering what we'd do with "all that processing power" at 200, 300, 500, whatever, MHz. Maybe we should change the name again, like 1000 MHz is one Nova, or something. Later, we could have Supernovas, Neutron Stars, Black Holes, oops, don't think we'd want that one.

Pretty amazing when you think about it. The chip that will be available at the end of this year will be One GigaHertz faster than the one I bought in September 1998. And compared to that 4.77 MHz 8088 I had in 1985...
