Dear John: I dont give a rat's ass if AMD has their 1gb system out first. I just want INTC to release it when its good and ready to be released with no problems. INTC has a reputation for QUALITY and with the bugaboos we had last year I surely dont want anymore SNAFU's. JDN

John, Re: More important, I am disappointed with Intel. They knew upfront that the release of a 1 Gig chip was going to be a public relations coup, and they got aced I am not disappointed but puzzled. This whole 'limited edition' thing is very strange. As indicated on Anandtech, both employs the overclock trick and Intel should know it well that if it really wants to win this 'me first' thing, they should keep it as top secret until announced. Beside, why leave such a gap(straight from 800Mhz to 1GHz) ? May be they have a plan beyond our guess or they are just stupid but I don't believe it is the later case(well hope not). Gary

Re: I'm excited about Intel's future prospects, disappointed that it appears that they have let their core business slip. This quote from Craig Barrett was a stunner: Q: How far along are you in reinventing Intel? A: One of my measures is how easy it is to get our senior and midlevel managers to go off and work in new areas. If you go back two or three years, the road to success at Intel was working in the desktop-products group. Today, I hear complaints from the microprocessor guys that they're losing their people to go work in the new business areas. I consider this a success. Barrett's reference to the CPU business as a "creosote bush" seemed pejorative. I was also surprised to see that he has scrapped a lot of Andrew Grove's organizational structure and philosophy. (if it ain't broke . . . ) Like you, I have no problem with investing in new business areas, if and only if the CPU castle is properly defended. I just hope Barrett is up to that task.
