Huh? I have a three bagger already in old INTC shares. That's bad and reflects badly on increasing shareholder value??? A reverse 3 bagger a la AMD is better?? What color is the sun on your planet? What it probably is, is Quanti-logic. Here's some early benchmark data on Northwood. Author points some things out: However, these benchmarks are of absolutely no practical value, because the tests were run on i845 based mainboard and the results obtained weren’t compared to anything else. but nevertheless, the results provided allow us to understand some different things. First of all, although Intel is going to officially launch new Pentium 4 processors on 0.13micron Northwood core only in the beginning of next year, the company has already sent out a pretty significant number of engineering samples and the results of some test sessions have even got into the press media. it means that there are probably no technological problems with Pentium4 Northwood production. Secondly, now we have every right to state that Northwood really does have an enlarged 512KB L2 cache and supports lower 1.475V Vcore. DDR and RDRAM results ought to be quite a lot better and satisfy any performance freaks there are out there, I would say. P4 performance improvement on schedule. xbitlabs.com Tony

"I have a three bagger already... What color is the sun on your planet? LOL" Don't goof. You challenged me to support my assertions with data. I brought Intel's financial reports and have shown that Intel's buyback exactly offsets exercised shares, and the buyback expenses are dragging down total assets in about exact amount, $4B/year. In other words, the stock buyback is a sustained expense of doing business at Intel (as Tony Viola finally agreed), and therefore the real financial result of Intel business last quarter was a loss of $600M, like it on not. You responded with BS about your personal luck in stock gambling, with has little to do with the buyback topic. Do you concede, or not? Simple answer will suffice. - Ali
