Compare the performance of AMD with their competitors. Intel, Cyrix, Centaur, Rise, Metaflow, Transmeta, TI, VIA. AMD stands head and shoulders above the rest.

First of all, you and I both know there is only one or two competitors of merit in that group and one of them, TI, is not in the same product line. And I have already said that Intel has been screwing up for most of the past year. In fact its these screwups that have made AMD's life that much easier.

Intel is powered at this point by 5 year old inertia from Pentium Pro. In contrast, AMD is coming out with fabulous new products every few weeks.

Intel also is coming out with new products at a good rate; however they are mostly flawed. Like I have said before, so long as they continue to screw up AMD will be okay. But seriously, how much longer do you think that will happen? And I don't mean that question rhetorically.

Scumbria,

contrast, AMD is coming out with fabulous new products every few weeks.

I was just thinking about that. Within 1 year, we will have the original K7 core, K75, .18u shrink, Spitfire, Tunderbird, and maybe K6-2+, with Mustang not far away.
