1. The K8L core will be used across server, workstation and desktop lines. Perhaps a variant in mobile, too. Highlighting the fact that it can be used in 4S sockets, and perform well there does not change this fact. 2. FXs? AMD has no presence in the entire high-end desktop market right now. It's a lot more than the FX. 3. Hans has already stated that AMD are making more changes from 65nm than Intel is which is another good reason not to blame managment as there are technical issues to be overcome. 65nm was also the first node at which AMD is on the full IBM SOI process which also needs to be taken into account. K8L also had to wait until 65nm was ready so that was a knock-on effect. A nice litany of excuses for AMD management you have there. "Don't blame management" is a rather silly POV. Management is ultimately responsible for every aspect of AMD's performance.
