Doug: In other words, you are using the words of rumor sites and stating that AMD engineers and management are lying about when K8L will be introduced. I take the words of AMD long before taking the words from those rumor sites. K8L will be introduced early 2007. It will likely ship in Q4, 2006 as the first 65nm production. Which means samples are already around and working enough for Cray to commit to K8L for a very important contract. Given that contract, the parts must be available Q4, 2006 or Q1, 2007. We will hear word of this very soon. Then your house of cards collapses. BTW, AMD has stated what the FP performance in applications will be at least 50% higher at the same clock wrt K8. That means at least 3600 SPECfp2000 and 150 SPECfp2000rate at 2.8GHz single socket. That's way beyond what Woodcrest can do in 2 sockets even with a boost to 4GHz. Pete
