Kevin, Re: "Furthermore, AMD is cooperating with Motorola, which has excellent process technology ... Conclusion: AMD is catching up in the process technology race." This is just more "spin" from the AMD Sunnyvale "White House". It will take at least 1-2 years to bring on new technology from a joint development agreement between AMD and Motorolo. By this time, Intel will be mass producing CPU's in .18um technology ... In fact, this might start early in '99 . Kevin, face it ... AMD had a chance and "blew it" back in April '97. Make It So, Yousef

Kevin: <<Conclusion: AMD is catching up in the process technology race. And we all know who's winning the design race.>> I give you some better data. AMD went from practically 0% market share in CPU in the retail 2 years ago to a whopping 38% market share in the retail. They will attack after the business and laptops next. That number will widen in Q3 and Q4. All Intelabees could say is "more losses". Yeah right! They wouldn't dare to make an estimation of how big the losses would be. Maxwell
