Epi,

They could still maintain those relationships for T-bird and Mustang (and K6-x). They have to do whatever they can to compete with Tinma (and Tinma derivatives).

Epi, Re,Any system on a chip solution that AMD develops "
Well if AMD does not do it, Intel or Via certainly will. the integration will happen. Do you recall the old King who tried to stop the tide?....you know..the wet one, well AMD would be trying to stop the tide if by not making such an integrated chip it could stop all the others from doing it.
SO AMD will make it and the graphics makers will try to stay ahead of the curve with bigger better faster chipsets. Eventually they will make alliances and still sell standalone stuff....as giga will probably do. the market is so large that a niche can be a healthy business....look at Apple. I think the graphics players know this and they will make deals with all of them as needed since we all know how good the CPU makers are at video graphics chipsets.
Bill
