Pete, <Tbirds are also used in the workstation and server markets. They do not need SMP to go fast.>

No one needs SMP until AMD can actually support it. AMD is the master of providing the right features right when people actually need it.

Peter Principle - Re: "But AMD has delivered SMP CPUs, the 386, the 486, the K5, the whole K6 family (you can run K6-3/400 on a dual CPU socket 7 (TX, etc) running at 66 MHz). How soon you forget."

Huh ?

What a joke !!

Not only are you WRONG, but who gives a squat about those historical footnotes?

Peter Principle - Re: "". You can get 1G Tbirds (1.1G in six days) plus motherboards for less than a single Xeon 733 MHz motherboard combo (its no contest, if you include >1GB RAM)."

Huh ?

Then why do IBM, Compaq, Dell, Gateway and HP ONLY USE Intel CPUs in their x86 servers?

Clearly you are living in a make-believe fantasy land.
