Epinephrine, How about Intel's boat with 20 small paddles, and AMD's with 12 larger paddles (or whatever their respective pipeline lengths are). The race is won by the fewer, but more efficient 12 paddles. Pravin.

Epinephrine, Re: Intel and AMD commercials... Do you know if Intel will advertise during this years Super Bowl? AMD needs to think of it this way: If an advertising campaign can raise their ASP by just a single dollar (or keep ASP from falling a dollar), they could have used well over 20 million dollars on the campaign. And that assumes not a single extra sale is made! (of course, ASPs and unit sales are not completely orthogonal sizes). What would a nation-wide (US) advertising campaign (TV based) actually cost? According to Dave (5dave22), a targeted cable campaign would run betw. 15 and 25 million dollars per year. (http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=14859180) I can't see how AMD can afford not to spend that. -fyo
