Alpha: approximately 100 SPECint95 and about 150 SPECfp95. Merced: 40 or 50 SPECint95 and 75 SPECfp95. Read all about it: www2.tomshardware.com Kevin PS Heh heh now we'll be hearing how Spec isn't a realistic benchmark any more--even for high end applications!

Intel was not hurt at all, the Intel wallet lacks nerves,only shareholders wallets have nerves. They only lost 10-20 Billion due to AMDs failures. Still profitable, sounds like the death of a thousand cuts to me. Bill

Re: "To state that Intel is invulnerable and has not been hurt by AMD seems silly to me. If AMD had not been around they would have shipped another 2M units+ last quarter at higher ASP's and profits would have been at recored levels. With AMD ramping up to 3.5-5M pcs this coming quarter guess what will happen to margins/market share. One or the other WILL BE DOWN." Kash, If it pleases you I acknowledge that Intel's profits have dropped as a result of AMD and K6's presence. However I think you are suffering from an incredible loss of perspective. Who is truely suffering? Intel because they only made $1.2 Billion while AMD posts 4 straight quarters of losses??? How long can Intel continue to suffer this punishment from AMD? Answer forever. AMD is using their face as a battering ram trying to knock down fortress Intel. All you can do is focus on the ugly blood stains on the fortress door. Don't you think your perspective is a little skewed? Shouldn't you be wondering where the blood is coming from??? Hint: It isn't Intel's. EP
