Chuck: <<The biggest downside for Intel may be that AMD folks might develop a healthy bit of paranoia and become more battle hardened.>>

Pru's Mossessman was at the convention today, and according to him (on24 interview) that Athlon logo was almost everywhere in developers' booth, and that indicated the very last minute change of mind on MSFT's mind.

In one phrase, a mini betrayal by MSFT and a mini public embarrisment for AMD.

I expect MSFT to do something to heal AMD's wound.

After all, without AMD, MSFT cannot extract the best deal from Intel for xbox.

Chuckles - Re: "The biggest benefit from this deal for Intel might be early exposure into a high power gaming platform and the loss of momentum at AMD.

Competition is good."

Your buddy Cherry Sanders sounded pretty bitter when competition beat him out of a design win !
