dumbmoney, Re: "First, I'm not an AMDroid."

I shouldn't have implied that you were. But with all the "Itanic", "Sink or Swim", and "Turd" comments, it's hard to tell AMDroid from "concerned investor". Traditionally, it's been the former who prefers to use such childish wording, while most investors are just looking to make money. Your comment apparently threw me off.

DM, Re: <Yahmill(sic) is bad for AMD (unless it's compatible with x86-64, which I regard as unlikely).>

I think Yamhill is bad for AMD in any case.

It'd be better for AMD if Intel just fired the whole pack of folks that are working on Yamhill.

IMO, Yamhill is worse for AMD if it includes X86-64 instructions.

And *EVEN WORSER* if it includes *NEW, IMPROVED extensions, IX86-64* -- and MSFT builds a Window for it.

AND *WORSEST* if they stick some of the IA-64 stuff in there. But that'd be way unlikely, IMO, 'cause -- well, just because.

But could I ask why you think Yamhill might have a 64-bit instruction set that's not -- at most -- a superset of X86-64?
