Dan,
Thanks for verifying the dog and pony show in the desert.

RE:"Emphasis on extremely in the original. Note also Joseph Yu's "We'll ship hundreds of thousands this year". Well, out of Intel's vaunted 30meg/quarter production, sounds like Willy will be about as common in Y2K as 800mhz Coppermines are now."

If this is true, the Willy launch won't be AS good as the Floppermine launch given the same time frame one year later.
My source originally said that The Willy wouldn't arrive in volume until 2001. This was verified by INTEL! Now, why do you suppose
Paw Paw Prengel hasn't embraced this latest revelation! BAM BAM!

Jim

Hi Daniel:

Not that AMD should rest on their laurels, but there seems to be more than a little smoke being blown here.

Comment: Same old song they've been singing since October '99 wrt the still practically invisible PWeeIII 733's and 800's...just a little more up tempo!
