Re: "IDF and Willy seems to have had the desired FUD effect. It will be interesting to see the Athlon speed ramp from here on out." It sure worked on you: "Intel did the right thing with Willamette, and they will be the performance champions next year. No other CPU will match the integer performance of Willamette." -Scumbria "Willamette seems to have combined the best collective knowledge of the industry. My hat is off to Intel for breaking out with the very deep pipeline. That is something I have been trying to convince my management (at several different companies) to do for years. I should add that the Willy demo seems to have paved the way for me!" -Scumbria EP

SCUMbria - re: "It will be interesting to see the Athlon speed ramp from here on out." Huh ? You bailed OUT of AMD BEFORE the IDF !!! As of Tomorrow, Intel will have the HIGHEST MHz CPU on the market !! Since a 750 MHz Coppermine - with only 100 MHz SDRAM- was shown to be competitive with the 850 MHz AthWIPER : firingsquad.com I'd say AMD is rapidly FALLING BEHIND in the Speed Race. Maybe AMD will come out with a 1.8 Volt AthWiper Real Soon Now !!! Paul
