Elmer, and you guys think the same about Intel. That they make decisions in a vacuum ignoring the competition. When was the last time you heard Craig Barrett go on a bitter tirade against AMD? Have you heard Andy Grove condemn AMD? Of course not because they're adults running a business, not spoiled children using a company like their own personal weapon to attack their enemies. I never said Intel ignores the competition. I said it wasn't the prime factor in decision making. Jerry's hatred is AMD's business plan. EP

Constantine, Re: "Celeron and the "Copper"mine with no copper." Celeron was produced to gain on the low end markets, which AMD was pursuing, if that makes your point. But I don't think Intel felt they had to respond to AMD's pricing (as is your argument); rather, they saw another opportunity to grow their business to new market segments, which was an idea they had long before AMD was pushing the "sub-$1000 market". Putting pressure on their competitor might have been a clever afterthought, but I doubt it was the motive behind the design. As for Coppermine, it is an internal code name, and Intel can call it whatever they want. Unlike AMD, who publishes a public roadmap with code names on it, Intel prefers just to use code names in their internal document, or in presentations to a select crowd. If you are suggesting that Coppermine was used such that the name would confuse buyers into thinking it had copper interconnects, then you are clearly out in left field. There is no marketing significance to internal code names. Next you'll be telling me that Intel named their new processor Northwood to appeal to the Lumberjacks of America, and prevent them from turning to AMD. <G> wbmw

Re: "Too bad you think Intel will ignore the 64-bit desktop marketing extravaganza from 2003 to 2005. " Looks like AMD is ignoring that market as well - since they won't even have their first chips put until early 2003 - unless they are delayed further for a realignment to the slipped SOI schedule at AMD !
