jj: If he made it after 11/9/00, I think it is more likely that he was merely referring to new processor speed introductions. I don't remember when he made the claim. I'd say around November, though... From the context at the time, I think it's highly unlikely that he was referring to speed grades. Btw, if you don't accept Mobile Duron as a "new" CPU, neither is Mobile Palo ;) -fyo

Jay, Re: Maybe Hector meant that there would be virtually 5 new processors. [Virtuhammer] LOL! Hm, we already have two (SimNow! and VirtuHammer), let's see when the next three are coming... <g> Andreas

Jay you forget new FSB speed CPU's as well as new Speed Grades. Lets list the recent releases. 1st. SUNNYVALE, CA --JANUARY 8, 2001--AMD today introduced the 850MHz AMD Duron™ processor, again delivering innovative technology and a rewarding computing experience at an affordable price. With today's launch, and with the advent of UMA integrated graphics chipsets, AMD continues to enhance its reputation for delivering ideal solutions to value conscious PC shoppers. 2nd & 3rd Tokyo,Japan--JANUARY 15, 2001--AMD today announced the immediate availability of the Mobile AMD Duron™ processor for notebook PCs. The Mobile AMD Duron processor is the first seventh-generation processor to enter the notebook market, and is available in volume today at speed grades of 700 and 600MHz. 4th and 5th could be 266FSB chips or the 900Mhz Duron.

Re: "Do you remember when Hector made that claim? " This claim? Message 15295861 "In August, AMD President Hector Ruiz said that AMD would introduce five new processors between Nov. 15 and Feb. 15, including Mustang, with on-chip caches up to 2 Mbytes; Palomino, which was originally slated to include 256 Kbytes of on-chip cache; and Morgan, which was slated to include a 64-Kbyte cache. " Since the author said AUGUST, I think any AMDroid with an ounce of brains could assume Six-Figure-Hector made the "prediction" in August. Of course, AMDroids can always argue that August is actually November !
