>True but on the Intel side you have Ph.Ds, Process Engineers and other professionals with many years of semiconductor manufacturing experience. The same ones who said that PIII was fine on 1.13 GHz and that AMD would never produce a chip above 400 MHz, of course :) -Z

On the Intel side, you got the official Intel FUD operation. Big deal. It's nice that Intel sees fit to deploy its engineering "talent" that way, but given the historical record of spewage from that contingent , the fear quotient just ain't what it used to be.

RE:"True but on the Intel side you have Ph.Ds, Process Engineers and other professionals with many years of semiconductor manufacturing experience. On the "Droid" side to have concrete contractors and screwdriver shop technicians acting as pundits. See the difference?" I remember one PhD process engineer that said AMD would never get over 300 Mhz on a K6 or 400 Mhz on an Athlon. What is sad here is that even the experts get into a pi$$ing contest and resort to childish Phud. Most of this pencil* measuring is just plain silly or just plain splitting hairs. Mhz and marketing are what matters. Argueing about iTanium is a joke. iTanium may have no market yet but it has no competition. Hammer doesn't exist yet. If and when it does we will see what it can do. Jim
