Hello Scumbria,

Re: Every time that AMD has given any advance notice about products, Intel has taken advantage and punished them. K6 and X-box were prime examples of this. In contrast, the secrecy of 1GHz K7 threw Intel for a loop.

Excellent point.

Kindest regards,
CrazyMan

Scumbria,

Secrecy when you are behind is OK.

But when you are trying to be a leader - its tough to lead by being secretive.

BTW, as far as X-box, the more i think about it - the more significant this loss for AMD is.

IMHO this will ensure that Intel SSE will get lotsa support and 3d now will die off.

regards,

Kash
