Re: "These days coppermine is a full 40% shy of Athlon- in clock speed- more in performance."

The Tualatin isn't.

Look at these benchmarks:

hardwarezone.com

"Conclusion

The new Intel Tualatin is certainly going to be an interesting extension to Intel's Pentium III line of processors. With performance matching the Athlon, the Tualatin could very well give users a good alternative to using AMD's power hungry Athlon processor. "

Re: "The market is week for sure, but AMD is not in the same position it was in the K6 days. "

Yes it is - AMD just forecast an upcoming loss - just like the good ol' K6 days !!

TG - RE: "These days coppermine is a full 40% shy of Athlon- in clock speed- more in performance."

P4 is the Athlon's main competition. Why are you talking about Coppermine?

BTW, notice how nearly your whole post is about Intel? It's as if talking about Intel will erase AMD's problems...

TG, "don't forget that the sooner INTC converts from p3 to p4 on their main stream lines, the quicker they cut their mfg capacity in half."

Don't we remember that we are in a sort of PC
resession, and hence there must be excess of capacity?
