Tenchusatsu, I'd give credit where credit is due, to the K7 design and validation team and to the key engineers like Dirk Meyer and Fred Weber. Without those guys, Jerry Sanders would still look like a washed-up CEO. Well, who hired them? Who gave them space to do what needed to be done? Who isolated them from the losing battle of K6? Who built a fab for their new design? Joe

So at Intel CEOs design their own chips without depending on the design/verification engineers? Muzo

Tenchusatsu, Re: Personally, I'd give credit where credit is due, to the K7 design and validation team and to the key engineers like Dirk Meyer and Fred Weber. You bet! Those guys are GREAT! I've got a lot of respect for these fine creative minds that work the "magic" and make it happen. Re: Without those guys, Jerry Sanders would still look like a washed-up CEO. Now why do you suppose those fellows choose to work for Jerry sanders? What's the attraction? They could go anywhere couldn't they?. Why do they work for AMD? As for Jerry Sanders looking like a "washed-up" CEO, I'll have to disagree with you there. Perhaps you're thinking of the CEO that got his company involved with Rambus and made a real mess of things for his outfit. I heard this fellow had a virtual monopoly in his industry when he took the helm and now Jerry Sanders and company is "coming through the walls" of the crumbling castle. Talk about looking like a "washed-up CEO"! Kindest regards, CrazyMan
