Bill, Re: "AMD made Intel exit the 386 and 486?, make it non profitable for Intel but profitable for AMD?, how else than differential yield advantage?" Bill, Intel left the 386 & 486 business to AMD because Intel had much higher margins (read more profits) with the next generation Pentium CPU's. Any good businessman would jump at that sort of opportunity ... I wonder why AMD didn't move more quickly to the K5 ?? Was it because they were making a lot of money on the 386 & 486 ?? Bill, how much money has AMD made over the last three years ?? I'm sure if you don't have the answer that Paul can help. BTW, Intel and AMD are currently on the same wafer size at .35um and .25um. Make It So, Yousef
