Re: "However Intel launched a campaign to publish 50 articles in the trade press. They published a catalog of data sheets for parts that did not exist" Ali, I suspect this post is a complete fabrication however you can prove me wrong by presenting some documentation. EP

The reason why IBM chose Intel's 8086 and 8088 was because Intel could deliver them in volume in IBM's hand. Motorola's 68000 was clearly several years ahead of itself. It had nothing to do about which chip outperformed the other. It was a business decision. 700MHz CPU is very much within the 0.25um technology, even with the archaic x86 architecture. When the L2 cache is added into P-II, chunks at a time, the speed is going to increase. Time Traveler Ps. Don't hit a <CR> until the end of a praragraph.

Ali, Thanks for the comments. I have come to rely on the AMD, Cyrix and Intel threads for the wide range of opinions. And each thread certainly gives me a different perspective about Intel. Also thanks for the heads up on the options. I thought you were just joking, but much to my dismay, I found out that they really do keep those costs off the P & L. The stock market is even more overvalued than I realized. It will be interesting to see, if anything, what this MOT/AMD announcement portends. Dale
