Bill.

Truth, truth and nothing but truth. All about Intel.

Bill - Re: "Is this a description of AMD? Partially?"

This pretty much describes things.

I don't know if you remember the K5 - announced with much fanfare in 1992/1993.

When it (K5) finally came out in late 1994, it was slower than molasses in January.

Six months later, AMD had to publicly admit it. In October of that year (1995) AMD had to go outside to BUY NEXGEN for $600,000,000 to get a viable x86 design which became the K6.

Looks like the circle has turned, one more time.

<AMD grew to a plateau. Now this usually happens with saturation of the market, or bad management. Since Intel grew, it had to be bad
management.> Following this logic, should we conclude that all other hundreds of silicon companies (who did not grow up to Intel size) had bad management too?
