Dear Yousef: No! it was Intel's inability to produce anything quicker to justify releasing it. AMD seems to believe that the only times to release something is either where a small boost will maintain the advantage or when the product stands head and shoulders above the rest. The USAF does this that whenever someone beats or comes close to the air speed record, they simply trot out the SR-51 Blackbird and publically beat the previous record. It always could go faster, they just didn't want people to know how fast was its max. AMD seems to be using the same policy Intel did in years past. You know that you agreed with it when Intel did it. You just do not like it when the crown is on your foe's head. And they now seem to make the most mileage out of that design lead by using a die size that maximizes revenue per wafer. It is something Intel should do. Why not ask them why they do not maximize revenue per wafer? Pete
