Cringe - Re: "How fast do you expect Intel to get the new Cumine stepping, C-0? 1.2GHz?"

By October or November - 1.2 GHz.

Re: "That means AMD may still be able to beat the price/performance drum since Athlons will use 133MHz SDRAM or DDR SDRAM."

That's right - AMD will be forced to drop their price of the AThWiper as Intel squeezes AMD with BOTH high performance Coppermines AND Willamettes.

And the AMDroids can claim yet another pyrrhic victory as the Price/Performance leader.

Re: "Maybe Willy won't use DDR SDRAM until it moves to socket 479 (from 423)?"

I'm not sure about this. I do hope Intel is developing a DDR SDRAM version of the the Tehama chip set. If they are not, they are being REAL STUPID.

Cirruslvr ; wouldn't that be true only if Intel stops their string of "disasters" as Paul put it. Why would Intel stop their string now; they are on a roll?
