Dan3, Re: "IBM's AMD products have been in its retail line, and IBM has left the retail market." Why hasn't AMD been in IBM's "business line" ?? Make It So, Yousef

"This isn't great news for AMD, but has nothing to do with SOI being good or bad" Dan, I've seen this question asked several times on the Intel thread and no one seems to want to answer it. If SOI is so great why is it that IBM doesn't have any ultra high performance products using it? The PPC chips they sell are running at half the speeds Intel's chips are. Ditto for Motorola and their performance benchmarks are in the toilet. If SOI is going to be your saviour, doesn't it concern you that nobody else has been saved? There is no high performance SOI product. None, zip, nada yet you keep trumpeting it as the salvation of AMD. This is denial by definition. You are the picture in the dictionary that people see when they look up the word. You have defined it and given it meaning. Your place in history is assured. Thanks for giving us all a good laugh.
