Elmer, Well it didn't turn out that way and Intel showed them what a real 7th generation processor really is. AMD showed us last year. Scumbria has now done a "Kash" by refusing to admit his disgraceful accusations were totally unfounded. Do you believe that Intel is shipping 1.5 GHz processors? Scumbria

Elmer, Paul...What's with you guys. You act like Willy is already shipping in volumes or something. By the time that 1.5 demo ships it could be summer of 2001. That's a long time from now. Heck, AMD could probably overclock a Thunderbird to those levels by year end. Hell, Intel (hey, never realized they rhymed. Not!) still can't even ship an 800 coppermine in quantities yet. What makes you think they're going to get all those fabs up and running with nary a problem by then. And I hope they can figure out that Rambust mess by then, cause who's going to want to plop down those kind of bucks for a probably expensive processor and an equally expensive memory solution. (oh yeah, you and Paul). Intel's demo doesn't mean sh*t. Now if they can follow through with product that's a different matter. On that the jury will be out for a long time in my estimation. Sales are what ultimately matter. If Intel doesn't figure that out soon they'll have to keep earnings up by better and better stock selection in their portfolio. Then they'll have to worry that Alan doesn't take away the punchbowl. Anyway just my opinion. Regards ED P. (a not so shell shocked AMDroid)
