Re: No need for any excuse. There is always some obscure measure by which an AMD product comes out ahead. Since AMD's benefactors seem happy to finance continuing losses, the performance/$$ metrics will be the new banner for AMD.

Don't get me wrong, Sarmad. I'm quite sure AMD will find a way to declare victory, and I've already said so, too. My interest is what the analysts and investors will say about it, which will largely be influenced by the reviews and technical analyses. These guys and gals are somewhat banking on a profitable 4th quarter, or at the very least a path to profitability in 2008.

What happens when they suddenly realize that Barcelona is a second rate processor launch, when AMD promised them an Intel killer? And that AMD's next credible promise won't be until Bulldozer in 2009...?
