Elmer, Re: "Yousef, who was it that demanded you conced AMD's process superiority if AMD was first with a 266mhz notebook processor?" Why that was Mr. Petzinger ... He seems to strangely silent recently. Here are the posts that I think you are referring to: exchange2000.com "Yousef, re:<my assessment of AMD technology is that their IC processes are a generation behind Intel ... 2 speed bins behind Intel> Will you change your mind if AMD has the first 266 MHz notebook chip? (i.e., 1 speed bin AHEAD of Intel) Will you change your mind if AMD has the first 300 MHz notebook chip? (i.e., 2 speed bins AHEAD of Intel) If your answer to either of these questions is, NO or you refuse to answer, then your assessment isn't worth the time it takes to read it. Petz" exchange2000.com "John, Re: "Will you change your mind if ..." John, I base my assessments on the best available facts ... if AMD is truly shipping 266mhz & 300mhz notebooks in the next 1-2 months, I will be very impressed. Based on those facts, I would have to re-assess my statements on Intel versus AMD process technologies. BTW conversely John, if AMD doesn't come out with either of those two products in the next 1-2 months, will you agree with my earlier assessment ?? Make It So, Yousef" exchange2000.com "Thank you, Yousef, for your promise of 12/7/97: ... if AMD is truly shipping 266mhz & 300mhz notebooks in the next 1-2 months, I will be very impressed. Based on those facts, I would have to re-assess my statements on Intel versus AMD process technologies. And yes, if there are neither 266 MHz nor 300 MHz AMD notebooks by then, I would have to agree that Intel is still at least a half generation ahead in process technology. Petz" Petz also wanted to bet me earlier that AMD would have the 266Mhz and 300Mhz K6 available by the end of '97 ... Obviously, AMD didn't make it. Make It So, Yousef
