Re: "BTW: Maybe someone could pass this comment from ACE's on to Elmer, so that he will stop babbling about the Willy demo: Now Willy could go stably to 1.3 GHz, that 1.5GHz demo only booted up and ran application showing it's 1.5GHz - nothing more, thus CPU was probably severely (and unstably) overclocked. " Get a clue Scumbria. AMD demoed a mature 1.1GHz Athlon only running a frequency meter and you in all your glorious hypocrisy said nothing. Intel demoed the A-0 first silicon of Willamette running at 1.5GHz and you crapped giant ingots condemning Intel as sleezy for trying to deceive the public. You can't seem to grasp the fact that future steppings will have not only speed path improvements but major process improvements as well. Intel is currently 8 process revs beyond the one used for Willy A-0. You know better than this dumb post of yours. Cut the crap. You're too easy to see thru. EP

Re: The Ace's post ... Scumbria, Thanks for your comment on the post. I'd been hoping you would elaborate on it. I'm getting so optimistic re AMD it's making me nervous. Just when it seems the news can't get any better, it gets better. A pipeline that's full of Spitfires instead of K6s is in Austin... leaving that much more capacity available from Dresden for the mid/high end, and that much immediate volume available as Spitfires. In retrospect such a strategy seems obvious - I wonder how long they were able to keep Intel from knowing? Regards, Dan
