It doesn't matter. I'll go away for a while; I've got a lot of work to be doing anyway. Besides, the liberals don't seem to be able to make any kind of intellectually-based argument -- only name calling. Later...

Greg, <The AMD Mod thread is a JOKE. This is the original AMD thread where all aspects of the equity, both pro and con, can be discussed.> You know why the Mod thread was created in the first place, right? It's because this thread used to be the joke that the Mod thread has now become. Ironic, isn't it? OK, so this thread has now turned into another kind of joke. But if all of the off-topic discussions were to cease, you'd either have a dead thread, or more of the same crap that you find over on the Mod thread. It's a no-win situation. Tenchusatsu

AMD's new chip can help it gain on Intel--Barron's NEW YORK, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Advanced Micro Devices Inc. <AMD.N> is hailed as having the "next big thing" with its upcoming eighth-generation microprocessor, and this could make the depressed stock a long-term winner, Barron's said. The Aug. 5 edition of the Wall Street financial weekly cites Fred Hick, publisher of the newsletter High-Tech Strategist, as saying AMD's next line of microprocessors, code-named Hammer, can give AMD a multiyear lead on arch-rival Intel Corp. <INTC.O>. AMD's edge could lie in the move by Intel to make its Itanium chips work only with advanced software that capitalizes on its high-speed features, the article said. By contrast, AMD's Hammer PC chips are compatible both with hundreds of thousands of existing software programs as well as new ones. AMD is set to release its first Hammer chips during the current third-quarter and a "backward compatible" version to run powerful computers known as servers is due out in the first half of 2003, the article said. This could lead AMD to gain back ground over the next three to four years that it has lost to Intel. With AMD's stock at $7.31 and market capitalization around $2.5 billion (compared with Intel's $110 billion), "AMD might just regain the exalted investment status it enjoyed in the giddy days of 2000," Barron's said. 08/04/02 14:50 ET Copyright 2002 Reuters Limited.
