Re: "So you really think AMDs process technology is far behind Intels? Yousef did too, he didn't even think the K6 could get to 300, 333 or 350. Not bad to lowly socket 7, eh? "

I haven't made any statements which directly compares AMD & Intel's process technology (at least that I can remember). I will simply let them stand on their own merits. AMD's top speed is 350mhz and Intel's is 450mhz. AMD increases it's top of the line speeds at a slower rate than Intel does. At one time the speed difference was nil, now it's 100mhz. What conclusion would a reasonable person draw from these data points?

What do you think motivated AMD to ally with Motorola? I think AMD concluded that it would not have a 0.18u process ready in time to compete with Intel. This coincides with reports in the trade press that Intel is 6 months ahead of schedule with 0.18u.
