RE: "3 strikes and you're out, Intel." I would caution about overconfidence here. I have read many of the older posts on the original AMD thread (going back several years) and I remember that for a very short time, about a month, the original K6 was superior to anything that INTEL was supposed to have. The rest is history. However, though much is different now, I have heard rumors that some of what is being leaked about the P4 is deliberately misleading, a "straw horse" if you will, and that the "public" P4 is not what is actually coming. The production delays may be a ruse disguising a further redesigning of the P4 core for much better performance. If the chip that is released is indeed flawed in performance, it may be followed shortly by a surprise P5. drachelle
