---I think that Cost Per Bit and Density are more important than "Erase Cycles" In all fairness, I think Intel and AMD have gone down separate paths here serving separate markets. There are tradeoffs to both and customers want the choice. EP

"So AMD needs a "partnership"" Uh huh. It's a bad thing if AMD partners with someone? No doubt it's a good thing if Intel does it... "Environmental concerns??" Temperature range and you know it. Dunno about Ford, but about a third of AMD sales are into the automotive industry, not bad potatoes no matter how you slice them... "-I think that Cost Per Bit and Density are more important than "Erase Cycles"" It depends. It's important in our products, and we are not unique. "I haven't seen any "speed data" to prove your other point." Here is one AMD chip with a page mode read access time of 25ns. biz.yahoo.com "I simply posted some links where OTHERS were calling intel the leader." And a similar list can be posted for AMD.
