Scumbia Re..<<<<Intel is getting a reputation for announcing vaporware. In contrast, AMD systems have been appearing immediately after product announcements. Which strategy is better? >>>>>>>>>>>> Scumbia, considering Cebit judges saw both Tbird and Willy and judged Tbird the better processor at this point, isn't it quite likely that Will's supposed speed advantage and processing power failed to match the hype of Intel's three ring IDF conference and Tbird actually had better speed or processing power or both at this time. In other words, if Willy actually had been able to do what Intel claimed it could (now we know why Intel didn't provide any benchmarks.) wouldn't Willy automatically been declared the winner? How could Tbird possibly be judged the winner when Willy, according to Paul was 400 mhz better.
