Ted, <However I am beginning to believe that the snafus actually are normal for Intel and have been for some time now (several years) but are only now getting noticed because AMD "is becoming a true competitor". That these snafus in the past have been masked by AMD's fumbling and by Intel's profitability. > Yeah! Long term Intel followers know this. The rot started after Intel did the PPro core. Otherwise there is no way someone like AMD could have come this far. <A great company does not slip all of a sudden....it takes a long time before its off courseness (if there is such a word) is noticed. > Absolutely true. That is the advantage of Gorillas like Intel. And, that is why "Gorilladom" is not easily lost. But, Intel has lost it. Took a long time but it finally happened. Case Studies will mark 2000 as the year when it happened. <And I also do not believe Intel will turn around any time soon....> This I disagree with. All it takes to turn around is a competitive new core (and I don't mean "competitive" like some people call CuMine). Unless AMD does a poor job of execution, Intel's days of 80% market share can be found only in the rear-view mirror (which would be sufficient for the likes of Engel to keep harping on for decades to come) Chuck
