Nick,

Willamette doesn't appear to be the scary thing described by some on this thread.

The concern for Willy is clock rate, rather than architectural performance.

Nick re <<Willamette doesn't appear to be the scary thing described by some on this thread. Did the French make the whole thing up?>>

It is indeed likely that the whole thing is made up. I do not buy it for a second.

I think Willamette will not be an issue till Q1 of next year at the earliest at it will not be a "lights out for AMD" kind of thing when it does come out. Hopefully Intel will continue to push RMBS, and the DRAM makers continue to tell Intel to go shove it.
