dumbmoney - Re: " Katmai will present AMD with an interesting dilemma. " AMD will follow their usual MO. 1. Trash Katmai as not useful for the masses 2. Denounce Katmai as an advance - but a mere proprietary implementation of new instructions - with the sole purpose locking AMD out of a new market. 3. Assume the populous position and tout 3D NOW as the Volks-instrucions - for the "REst Of Us". 4. Redesign the K6 to incorporate KNI in order to regain marketshare lost while implementing 1,2 and 3 above. This is similar to AMD's trashing and denouncing the SLot 1 interface - and then tucking their tale between their legs and designing the K7 with a Slot interface after recognizing the technological advantages of such an approach.
