Ten, I ask you why you did not complain about Athlon's large die size of 180 mm2 back during its introduction, not to mention the Slot A package while Intel was moving to sockets. When Athlon came out, it blew away the cacheless PIII chips on every single benchmark. It was a huge success for AMD. P4 is twice the size of the current Athlons, and gets beaten on almost every single PC industry standard benchmark, by a substantial margin. P4 is tied exclusively to expensive dual channel RDRAM, further crippling it in the marketplace. Should I continue? Scumbria
