Jim, <Jerry is a good PR man but doesn't seem to be able to push the engineers to higher levels.>

Schedules are created more toward what the market wants (or the marketeers think it wants), rather than what the engineers are realistically capable of accomplishing. It's true for Intel (though Barrett's OpEx initiatives seem to be fixing this) and it's true for AMD.

As for being a good PR man, well, do good PR men also let personal vendettas cloud their judgement? The hypocrisy he demonstrated during the Microsoft testimony is proof positive.

In addition to NVIDIA's nForce recently picking up Compaq as an OEM win, our sources say that Compaq is also qualifying an NVIDIA Clawhammer chipset. Technical details of this chipset are not clear, but Compaq systems utilizing NVIDIA core logic are expected to appear in January, 2003.
