Side stepping Anandtech I see.(eom) Side stepping the woo-woos at AMD, I see. Come now, is the 1 GHz Athlon as significant as Neil Armstrong stepping on the moon, or Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier or does AMD have some sort of brain fever? Why shouldn't I chose to side step one reviewer? You chose to believe that anyone (like the non-Intel source in the article I referenced) who says Intel is faster is a lying tout but if they say AMD's faster then they're speaking with God's lips. Do you honestly believe the race to 1 GHz and who has the fastest processor this instant according to a 16-year-old has anything to do with the price that Intel will be at in five years? Crow while you can, Lost Boy. Revisiting what the investment world has to say: thestreet.com Toasting the Chipmakers By James J. Cramer 3/6/00 7:35 AM ET Congratulations to Advanced Micro Devices (AMD:NYSE - news - boards) on getting out a faster chip. Maybe we will get our chance to buy Intel (INTC:Nasdaq - news - boards) cheaper. That's the only way to view this announcement. I admit that I have used every single positive Advanced Micro Devices announcement to buy Intel since the time Advanced Micro first decided to challenge Intel. <snip> Why am I so confident that this won't be the killer iteration? Why don't I worry that this Advanced Micro initiative will crush Intel? Because Intel is the greatest manufacturer of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It can make millions upon millions of chips better, faster and cheaper than anyone else. That's what matters.
