Chuck, <For AMD to have a SMP running in labs in June 1999 and not being able to get something to market until 2001 is a case of one huge missed opportunity.>

You can't be serious about this. AMD has SMP working in the labs in June 1999? Even Itanium, the mother of all slipped schedules, first booted up in August 1999, had SMP working a few months later, and is now shipping pilot 2-way and 4-way SMP systems.

Something went dreadfully wrong over in AMD's server division.

I'm sure NG can find a bright spot in this less-than-stellar-AMD-execution !!
