Pravin:

Re: "AMD has already shown that it is willing to develop reference designs such as the EasyNow! PC. I think they should develop their own game console design -- Call it the
A-Box. It will sport a 1 GHz Spitfire processor, and include graphics from either GigaPixel or ATI and their new Charisma Engine. It will run Linux and use OpenGL.

Comment: Precisely why MSFT will not jettison the Athlon!

Pravin,

I wonder if Athlon power dissipation had anything to do with the decision.

I was wondering about that as well. If AMD loses, that's probably the major reason. Oh well. I would not be surprised if the stock drops to low 40s following the announcement.
