Re: "Of course there is a coincidence, AMD is responding to Intel's release of their pre-production samples in a blatant attempt to beat AMD to 1GHz and grab the PR. So now that I have answered your question with my thoughts I would like to ask you a question: Don't you think it's odd that Intel did not release any incremental speed grades between 800MHz and 1GHz, don't you think that in doing so they demonstrated that they were only interested in getting to 1GHz even if it meant releasing so early that they had to admit that 1GHz Coppermines would be almost impossible to get. And don't you think that such eagerness to get to 1GHz strictly for the PR is a sign of hopeless desperation. (I do)" Epi, you are jumping to conclusions. We don't know what Intel is going to introduce. Why not wait until we do know and then debate it? Re: "ROTFLMAO, How? By Intel encouraging their OEMs to release systems containing the pre-production samples that they were sent for evaluation? Intel is humiliating themselves not AMD." By your line of reasoning, Intel had samples to send out and AMD didn't. EP
