Maxwell, Re: "Where have you been? ... You said AMD can't break the 300MHz with their poor process technology and they did it." I have been gone on business ... evaluating a Far-East Fab/process for one of my customers. As I see it Maxwell, AMD has only now just gotten to 300mhz. I believed (and posted) that this is about where they will top out without changes to their frontend FET devices. My question is still why has it taken AMD so long to get to 266mhz and 300mhz ... and why do they have to use .25um processing to accomplish this while Intel does this at .35um ?? I believe that I have accurately predicted AMD's problems and process weaknesses ... while you just sit on the sidelines, whining !! <ggg> Make It So, Yousef
