Petz, BTW, wasn't McKinley supposed to be done by now? Where is it? And isn't McKinley still a 0.18 chip? It is supposed to be somewhere between sample and pilot stage. And yes, as far as I know, it will still be .18u CPU. Madison is supposed to be following McKinley, and according to Tenchusatsu, the schedule is fairly aggressive: #reply-16930695 1H 2003 Joe

RE:"IMO, Intel will make sure their version of x86-64 is NOT compatible with AMD. This will delay the project from 2003/2004 to 2004 for certain." That what I think. Like 3DNOW, software maker will delay implementation of x86-64 until Intel set the standard. AMD will eventually have to wait for Intel and will remake his X86-64 compatible to Intel but will be 18 mounts too late. This is where LINUX and M$ could force Intel by imposing the standard but this is wishful thinking... Gottfried

If AMD is able to get their x86-64 architecture out the door by the end of 2002 I can't see how Intel could force AMD to change their own architecture. With the EU already investigating them, and Microsoft having its own difficulties with the DOJ, a monopolistic move such as that would most certainly bring unwanted scrutiny in their direction. Especially considering AMD would have at least a one year headstart on Intel. Whether there is OS support or not AMD would have x number of chips already out there.
