Analysts continue to cover their short-sightedness: I received this Infobeat alert this morning via email....note the "analysts" claims. Again, they are ignoring the truth in order to protect their darling Intel (& their own investment). ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES (47-9/16, up 6-1/16 @ 10:20 am ET) unveiled the first 1 gigahertz (GHz) computer chip, beating its far larger competitor Intel Corp. to the punch to claim industry bragging rights. Advanced Micro said it had begun shipments of its 1 GHz AMD Athlon processors, an announcement that analysts had been anticipating this week. Intel also is expected to follow shortly with its own announcement, perhaps later this week. Analysts, however note that these chips will not be available in big volumes after they are launched, and that only a handful of personal computer makers are likely to announce products designed for one gigahertz processors.
