Did NE1 catch this comment? "AMD is very confident that they can keep up with Intel in terms of processor performance and increase their market share even more. Most of you know about AMD's upcoming dual-CPU chipset, the increase in front side bus speed from 200 MHz to 266 MHz, the upcoming quad-processor chipsets developed in cooperation with API and HotRail and finally the fact that the majority of Athlon platforms will very soon be using DDR-SDRAM to compete against Intel's expensive RDRAM-solutions.

Milo Re....<<<<<What an awful sight! The booth turned out to be about a third of the size of AMD's booth. The food that was offered, something that used to be excellent in all the previous years, had deteriorated down to some mayonnaise ham/salad sandwiches = no taste but ton's of calories. >>>>

Milo, I must assume from this (Just as Elmer did with his banner in fab 12) that Intel will eventually be one third size of AMD. In addition serving sandwiches instead of nice food like AMD surely must mean that Intel can't afford real food anymore.. Face it, Intel shot their wad at IDF and ran out of money. Hey Paul, what happened to those "billions" you are always bragging about, or is Intel saving their money to build storage sheds for that "flood of coppermines" Elmer is talking about?

Milo,
What I liked about Tom's article was the fact that he was well treated by the AMD people and in particular they gave him hands-on access to the 1.1 Gig system including
- playing around with all the apps installed on it
- pulling out the processor to take a closer look.

Letting someone rip the processor out of your demo system shows you have real confidence in the stability of your setup.
