This has nothing to do with foils and everything to do with facts. fyodor I don't know what your point is anymore or what point you think I made that's you're arguing with. Sure you can find some benchmarks that are a couple of days old that show what you want them to show but the point I am trying to get across is that benchmarks and foils are hype, they aren't products and only products sell. The red ink at the bottom of AMD's financial statements was the result of their products, not their hype. Designs aren't products either. Only the silicon that gets plugged into a socket is a product and all the benchmarks and foils in the world won't change that. AMD's ability to develop and manufacture products is not aligned with their ability to hype. The big OEMs know this and they make their decisions accordingly. Most on this thread think hype is a product because AMD is already shipping it in high volume. EP
