John, Re: I saw some of Jerry's comments on the AMD thread. For your reading please: dailynews.yahoo.com Despite the relatively slow fourth quarter, AMD claimed to have gained market share on rival Intel Corp. and outperformed the semiconductor industry as a whole in 2000. ``Our technology and manufacturing organizations distinguished themselves from the competition by executing nearly flawlessly,'' said Jerry Sanders, AMD's chairman and CEO. ``While current economic conditions make it difficult to forecast demand, we believe our prospects are excellent for gaining market share, growing faster than the industry, and increasing our operating profit in 2001.'' Sanders further needled Intel by saying a new one-gigahertz version of AMD's value-end Duron chip could hit the market in the third quarter. The fastest Duron on the market now is 850 megahertz. Intel's top version of its value chip, the Celeron, runs at 800 megahertz, and Sanders said Duron's real competition is Intel's high-performance Pentium 3 processor. ``We think the Pentium 3 is dead meat,'' Sanders boasted. ``The only weapon they have left is price.'' AP is kind to AMD, there were some more ... explicit statements. Andreas
