Here's a testimonial to AMD's Athwiper XPee and their AthWiper servers - AMD's CORPORATE WEB SITE HAS CRASHED nearly ALL DAY !! www.amd.com We apologize for any inconvenience - October 9, 2001 Due to the incredible demand for information concerning the exciting, new AMD Athlon™ XP processor, our servers are unable to keep up with the unprecedented traffic visiting AMD.com. We are currently doing everything in our power to handle the overwhelming amount of requests. Please check back later. Thank you for your patience.

Re: So who's going to bother designing this into new products when it underperforms, is late to market and has no future? I'm sure Intel will come up with something to replace P4. But, for now, P4 is looking awfully pathetic compared to the new Athlon XPs. And the mystery of P4 showing good results on Sysmark 2001 has been solved. Now we know that Bapco/Intel searched until they found a program that didn't recognize Athlons properly and as a result produced very poor scores. Intel's bag of tricks seems to be about used up...
