RE: <I think willy is a very elegant solution and very much a threat.>

Kash,

I agree Willamette is not just a threat it is the threat and I don't want to discount that but it sure seems like less of a threat than it did to me just last week.

In regards to:

<My actual point is that AMD may be doing something similar with Mustang.>(referring to forgoing further X87 FPU optimizations in favor of 3DNow.)

In a previous post you had mentioned a smaller die size and lower power for Mustang. Am I reading you right in that you seem to be claiming that AMD will actually trim down their FPU. Why would they do that considering the Athlon die size is already smaller than the estimated Willamette die size? Can you elaborate further?

Thanks,

Epinephrine

My only beef with willy has been the RDRAM descision which IMHO will kill of willy this year.

I have a feeling that AMD has a mole inside the Intel organization. It is someone with a lot of influence over chipset and RAM strategy.

Joe
