Ten, Whatever happened to AMD's Mustang? I think I saw that the AMDroids were lamenting the fact that Mustang is gone, but I'm not sure about that. ...the 1-way and 2-way SMP servers will be covered by Palomino in Q1 2001 (based on 760MP chipset availability in Q1). Make that H1 01, which more than likely becomes Q2 01, maybe. 4-way and 8-way servers not coming from AMD until Q2 2002? How many people here are betting that even AMD's 4-way and 8-way will slip until Q3 2002 at least? Overall, it almost seems like AMD keeps talking about wanting to get to servers because of the growth and the margins, but then they keep shying away from them. Tony

Re: "and the 1-way and 2-way SMP servers will be covered by Palomino in Q1 2001 (based on 760MP chipset availability in Q1)." 1-way SMP???? Oh never mind.... I thought AMD announced the 760 would not be SMP capable until next summer. EP

Ten - Re: 'Whatever happened to AMD's Mustang? Seems like that processor dropped off of the top of AMD's roadmap, and the 1-way and 2-way SMP servers will be covered by Palomino in Q1 2001 (based on 760MP chipset availability in Q1). 4-way and 8-way servers not coming from AMD until Q2 2002? How many people here are betting that even AMD's 4-way and 8-way will slip until Q3 2002 at least?" I think it's safe to assume that AMD pulled off the AthWiper when they were in a highly focused ONE CHIP mode. Now that they have to expand on that to more CPUs, AMD's execution problems are proving to be as difficult as Intel's - except that AMD is still in a "catch-up" mode. That means that their continual slips in SMP deployment are concurrent with Intel's further advancement of their SMP architecture, deployment and pervasiveness. Thank you, Cherry Sanders, for dropping the ol' ball ! Paul
