Andreas, re: New AMD marketing compaign <Now let's see what AMD's marketing team is capable of.> rotfl < (prepare for the worst, hope for the best?) > the former, big time. powerball odds on the latter. <g> <However, the whole marketing campaign won't work if AMD don't stick to their roadmap and can't at least hold up with P4 in relative clock-speed (i.e. not falling more than 40% behind P4 in MHz).> Using the term "marketing campaign" in the same sentence with "AMD" is against some sort of thread rule, isn't it? <BTW, according to c't AMD said at IDF that 1.5 GHz will still appear this month.> That's good news. The question remains: tbird or pally? JJ

I think that "prepare for the worst, hope for competence, pray that they hired the 'got milk?' guys" is a more applicable phrase. ;) > However, the whole marketing campaign won't work if AMD > don't stick to their roadmap and can't at least hold up > with P4 in relative clock-speed (i.e. not falling more > than 40% behind P4 in MHz). I disagree. Any decent marketing campaign will help, if only a little, regardless of AMD's position, because people will start hearing the name and associating it as being normal with computers. > BTW, according to c't AMD said at IDF that 1.5 GHz will > still appear this month. Good. I won't complain, though, if they decide to surprise us and do better. :p -JC
