Scot, <AMD claims it will ship gigahertz Athlon only when ready in volume> And AMD now takes the political high ground, capitalizing on the publicity generated by the shortage of Intel parts. Cute, very cute. ;-) Tenchusatsu

Re: "AMD claims it will ship gigahertz Athlon only when ready in volume" Could this be an admission that AMD will lose the race to ship the first 1GHz systems? Note the article correctly stated "Intel disclosed that "limited production quantities" of gigahertz Pentium IIIs were shipping to three OEMs: Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and IBM." But we all know that CuMine can't possibly scale that high, can't possibly keep up with Athlon and Intel can't make very many of them anyway... right? The 1.5 GHz demo yesterday was a fraud, it wasn't air cooled and the 2 hour PPT wasn't really on a Willamette...right? I have one other bit of bad news for you guys... There really isn't any Easter Bunny. Please fill in the obligatory Liar Elmer response. EP

I saw Paul today at Fry's with Andy Grove testing the new $500 eMachines 1.5 Gig Mhz Willamette. Sure enough Andy says its the fastest thing around and who better to market it then Paul "the maul" Engel. In fact, they are so pleased with the 1.5 gig processor that they have decided to not flood the market any longer with production of 700 and 800 mHz floppermines ( after all these are too easy to make) and instead go right to the 1.5. Interviewed after the show, Paul said "why drive an Edsel when you can call today and have one of these little babies in your computing garage as early... Ugh... Andy, when did you say you can actually make these?"

Thanks for the welcome, Scot, hmaly too, but I've been posting here, every now and then, for at least 3 weeks. Not that I'd expect anybody to notice, the volume here is fairly ridiculous, I don't know who can read the whole thread. On the ghz announcement thing, it looks like the Intel/AMD role reversal on announcing when you can ship in volume looks set to continue for a while. I don't know, but you figure Michael Dell might get a little put out if people start ordering gigacumines he can't ship instead of .8gigacumines he can't ship, or maybe it's all the same to him at this point. Cheers, Dan.
