Why do I get the impression that Intel was looking for reason for not committing fab capacity to Timna (profitless product), in order not to lose shirt in the mainstream desktop market, and the MTH was a good excuse?

Joe,

Someone else made the same point....whether its true or not, its a sad commentary on one of the lead companies in the chip business, don't you think?

Just wait until next year when Microsoft comes knocking on Intel's door for 30 Million PIIIs at cost for the XBox.

That's right -- Intel is the best managed tech company, and AMD is the worst!
