Joe, <i.It is amazing that Barrett had so much at his disposal, and achieved so little. The best thing they have done is SMT (which they did NOT invent -- just implemented). And, us Droids better hope to God that AMD is working on it. Pravin.

"It is amazing that Barrett had so much at his disposal, and achieved so little." You mean, besides profitability? (Besides _enormous_ profitability?) You mean, besides a stock price that today is 6 times higher than it was in the mid-90s? You mean, besides a product portfolio that AMD would dearly love to have? You mean, besides being the world's largest chip maker? Yeah, aside from these things, Intel has really done very little. --Tim May

Re <<It is amazing that Barrett had so much at his disposal, and achieved so little>> Amazing indeed. 3 years ago Intel a complete monopoly in the biggest technology sector, with huge margins. AMD, well we all know how AMD was. Then Intel decided they also want to control the memory market, the graphics chip market, the telecom chip market, etc. Now they have none of those market, have pretty much lost the monopoly, they get a very healthy AMD biting at their heel and falling profits, revenues and margins. Incredible! Mani
