Archimedes, Your post on the INTC thread was classic. It's only going to get worse: Intel said it believed it would take several months to correct the problem. That gives AMD more time to ramp up its 1.1-GHz shipments. AMD president Hector Ruiz also told EBN that in the coming months his company will introduce Athlon chips with even higher speed grades, aiming for 1.5 GHz in the first quarter of 2001. A sign of things to come: Bert McComas, founder of InQuest Research, Gilbert, Ariz., said the juxtaposition of the Intel recall and the AMD full-scale shipments of 1.1-GHz processors could only hurt Intel further. "It shows AMD's clear lead in processors. Intel obviously rushed out with the 1.13-GHz Pentium III before it was completely ready--just to be able to show something competitive with AMD." It sounds like Bert is coming around. Perhaps Intel has used up all of its "get out of jail free" cards with him? Or maybe they've "cried wolf" one too many times for Burt to keep buying this load of BS? One down, hundreds more to go.... ebns.com
