What fool is going to stay there? Elmer, Intel is also suffering attrition due to very low base salaries, lousy stock performance, and engineers being pigeonholed into a single job for their entire career. Scumbria

I don't have any idea how much turnover AMD's design team is suffering from, but in my opinion, the design team should feel tremendous satisfaction from their design success. While the K-6 has not yet been profitable and I am not certain it ever will be, AMD has designed a product which has played an important part in driving processor prices down. My understanding is that NexGen/AMD design team is much smaller than Intel's and many creative/aggressive engineers would probably like the opportunities and challenges presented in this kind of environment.
