Dan forgot TMTA's 27.5% share.

Tony, In that case why does he not have the intelligence to leave out the naughty names? What can they possibly add to his argument? All they can do is detract from his logic.
So I conclude he needs professional psychological counselling for some buried issues.

You never seem to stoop to his level and yet your comments are far better than his technically. I suspect your knowledge is far more current than his.

Bill

Re: an insult to my intelligence is worse than naughty names.

If you think about it, there are some eerie similarities between now and two years ago:
Just Like Two Years Ago                 Now

transition from .25 to .18 transition from .18 to .13

Intel thinks coppermine is unbeatable Intel thinks P4 is unbeatable

Intel says "use RDRAM or nothing" Intel says "use P4 or use nothing"

Different From 2 Years Ago Now.

VIA has plans for CPU, little else Via shipping CPUS on .13 process

AMD has no money to fund .25 to .18 AMD has $1 Billion in cash and going
to SOI ahead of Intel

What happened since 2 years ago

Non-Intel market share went from 10%-15% to 20%-25%

What might happen over the next year

Non-Intel market share goes from 20%-25% to 40%-50%

What we might be saying 5 years from now

Remember Osborne? Remember Wang? Remember Intel?
Those were the days, weren't they?

>on the Intel thread, we get some posts with predictions that are as likely to occur as another giant meteor hitting the Yucatan peninsula. Like this:

By Q1, 2002, we could see VIA with 20% of the market, AMD with 30% of the market, and Intel with 50% of the market.<

Actually, all that this would take is Intel becoming as aggressive with phasing out PIII as they were with phasing out 440BX.
