> Intel is selling the f------- processors. "fentium"? "feleron"? Hmmm.... "fitanium"? That last one has just the right number of characters.

Re: Intel won. I know it's hard to accept, but even you have to admit, that Intel is selling the f------- processors. That's a little akin to saying the French won World War I-- maybe in a technical sense it's true, but from the perspective of a victory or prosperity, wars of attrition are bad for all parties concerned. However, you're right that AMD's current position of having to sell equivalent-MHz processors at 1/2 to 1/3 of Intel's prices is untenable and rather embarrassing for the company. -Eric
