Scumbria..Re: AMD has never made any profits at the low end. There few moments of profitability in the x86 business have occured when they were in the performance lead.

Scumbria, I actually think they will do OK on the low end cause Intel can't afford to do the price squeeze thing on them like they used to. This is because they no longer control the high margin high end. So to keep up profits, no more price wars at any end. Should work out well for both companies.

Ed P.

I think Spitfire vs. CuMine-128K will be a better matchup for AMD than K6-2 vs. Celeron128K was (and is). The Celeron is faster than K6-2, but Spitfire should smoke the CuMine-128K especially since AMD will extend it 100 MHz higher than CuMine-128K.
