Jim, LOL. We've got a major disconnect here. I'm going to try to answer the two parts of your post with a straight face. Re: So you are saying Intel bought out a years production of .13u equipment and that's why AMD is a year late on implementing .13u? In a nutshell, yes. This time last year Elmer was talking about how Intel had bought the only company that was ready to build .13 machines. You may well have been too far off in BeeLand to remember that. You certainly did BUZZ off sometime around September '00. Re: Surely they could have obtained a couple machines to validate .13u on and now should be shipping high speed desktop chips rather than lower speed notebook chips? If I was running the BIZ I'd want to ship the CHIP for the most I could get out of it. AMD's gone from essentially 0% of the notebook and related market one year ago to around 30% today. A notebook chip brings in around 200% of the $ a desktop does. How many notebook chips would you like AMD to brand up 500MHz(rating) to sell as desktop chips? tgptndr
