Re: "Intel is not releasing 1GHz because they got a jump in frequency and availability, notice I am still not saying that they didn't, merely that such a jump is not the reason, if it was they would have also released incremental speed grades in a more rational move, but they didn't, they skipped the incremental speed grades in a blatant attempt to grab 1GHz PR, that is desperation." At this point Intel hasn't said a thing so I think it's a little premature to say what they did or didn't do. Re: "What is truly baking my noodle is that this "launch" of theirs proves that they aren't done screwing up yet. This launch is a mistake." Until we see what they are launching how can I respond? Re: "I have truly never claimed that Coppermine was a dead duck and I think that it is unfair for you to imply that I did but I do claim that there are limits and if you think that Coppermine will scale forever then what good is Willamette. No offense Elmer but you aren't thinking clearly." Well I'm sorry to point the finger at you, I was speaking generically. I don't mean to imply that anything can scale infinitely, but just as people are confident Athlon will scale so will CuMine continue to scale and so will AMDites claim it can't. Something to do with the pipeline being too short. EP
