Scumbria - Re: " "IBM's parts are much faster than ours." Maybe there are 334 MHz parts sitting around ! Interesting - AMD said K6 wafer starts at IBM wouldn't start until the 3'rd quarter of this year. And here we are - 2 1/2 weeks into the 3'rd quarter and AMD has K6's that have already been "fabbed" by IBM, sorted, assembled and tested. Not likely, Scumbria. Paul

Scumbria, Re: "I overheard an AMD process engineer this morning saying "IBM's parts are much faster than ours." I see that you are following in the "footsteps" of Albert, Brian and Jim with AMD HYPE !! ... Now all you need to do is talk about "double secret" E-mail, rumors, "tea leaves", inside AMD "plants", etc. Make It So, Yousef

IBM Parts at 400 Mhz Jerry said that they did not anticipate using IBM in the 2nd Q conference call so it would be quite a shock if it were true.

Scumbria - Re: "I overheard an AMD process engineer this morning saying "IBM's parts are much faster than ours." So, you overheard this at the swimming pool, huh? Just a few days before AMD announces they are not even going to use IBM for making the K6 ! {========================} Just months after recruiting IBM to manufacture its processors, Advanced Micro Devices is putting the brakes on the deal. {========================} Any more "Pool-side Inside Information" you want to share with us?
