stockman, so, let's wait and see..we'll know by end of january.. but, the facts show cpq is selling allot of pc's and again will lead the pack. the 70+% increase in sales in oct for cpq is a fantastic number.. Novemeber was strong too and dec. has always been good month. so, we'll see.

I do not think it is worthwhile to argue here that Intel's chip is better than that of AMD or Cyrx on this thread at all. With the same QA spec , may be AMD's yield is not as good as that of Intel, but not the quality. With higher Idss on shorter chaannel MOS transistors, both transistors processed by AMD or Intel will have shorter life time as a result of Vt shift induced by higher Idss. This is just device physics, and will applied to both AMD and Intel, both will have similar problem, no matter it is Intel or AMD or Cyrx.
