Yeah, you let us know when those gaming co-processors are available, Pete.

Pete, AMD, once again, with its coprocessor options has taken a different fork in the x86 road than INTC. My bet is that INTC will, once again, have to back up and copy AMD's coprocessor initiative. As you have pointed out, given market acceptance (which is a given as far as I can make out...i.e. major commitments already in place) AMD's coprocessor initiative has just launched an arrow aimed directly at the heart of the beast ;-)

Yes I think Doug could be missing the bigger picture here. Like Charlie said recently in an editorial AMD have a modern platform and it's going to stay modern with this future just outlined. Sure Intel maybe good in a simple historic cpu to cpu comparison but they will be fighting a whole platform ecosystem soon. Maybe not immediately but later on it could seriously trouble them in a competitive way. What this must also do is give confidence to those that have committed to Opteron to stay the course as it will only get better.
