Lewinsky Dan - Re: "You know, I've been thinking about the raw MHZ issue" Thinking is not one of your strengths. Getting down on your knees -- and blowing AMD -- is one of your strengths. But what the hey, different strokes for different folks.

Lewinsky-Dan - re: 'So we may well see the drawbacks in P4's performance extensively, exhaustively, and repeatedly reported on. Isn't that a great thought?" Sure - it will be great fun. In the end, the Pentium 4 will still be the best CPU - and generally the fastest - at its introduction. The and German UberStormbahnFurhers AMD AMDroid butt sniffers will pump up their selected bench marks - and other reviewers will post their selected benchmarks. When it comes to purchase time, buyers will select the processor/system they are most confident in - and history has shown that choice will be Intel - for performance, value, and future usability. By Q2 2001, the Pentium 4 will exceed the ThumperTurd in unit shipments - and by Q4 2001, AMD's market share will be headed back to 10%. Intel will ramp the speed of the Pentium 4 faster than the AMDroids have expected - and AMD will NOT RAMP the speed of their Gelded herds - as now admitted by the deceiving, boisterous, misleading AMD management. Intel will advance in SMP servers - AMD will continue to be a non-participant. Intel will extend its performance leadership in mobile CPUs - and AMD will continue to fall further and further behind. Face it, BlowHard Dan - Intel has performed at its worst over the past 18 months - while AMD has performed at its best during that time - and AMD has only managed to squeak out a 17% market share. The world prefers Intel processors - period. Now, Intel will place into production tomorrow a new processor core capable of the best perfromance today - with the ability to ramp to ever higher speeds on the existing process (0.18 micron) with outstanding potential for REALLY HIGH SPEEDS when ported to the new 0.13 micron copper process. AMD had its chance - and is now stumbling badly. Intel has stumbled badly and is now starting to execute well. AMD is once again a second-rate company with a second-rate product and a roadmap to nowhere. Paul
