Milo, Re: "Some Intel executives believe the Yamhill Technology's existence will be seen as a tacit admission that the Itanium, which took an estimated $1 billion and seven years to develop, might be a flop. In addition, the swashbuckling Intel doesn't like to admit that the much smaller AMD, based in Sunnyvale, could pose a real threat." This is also what the AMDroids are hoping for, too, including yourself, I'm sure. Message 16790107 I won't argue the veracity of that article, since it does sound legit, and it could be true for all I know. However, you can be sure that Intel has many similar Plan B type projects to hedge their bets. Intel has always been the kind of conservative and paranoid company that would spend extra resources on secret competitive projects. The funny thing in this case is that you AMDroids celebrate over this kind of news as an early indication of failure, when you really ought to be getting just a little bit nervous that Intel has such contingency plans already in place. wbmw
