You are responding to this message from dumbmoney on Oct 19 1998 5:12AM EST >What did they screw up? They diverted the P5 team to Merced development, which left them with only one x86 design team and greatly extended the time between processor generations. Tiny AMD has two x86 design teams. Intel used to have two, but now they only have one. I find that astonishing. What? Only one x86 design team? Really? I guess I can go home now and tell my colleges at several other sites we're all out of work... Haim

Dunbmoney, Re: "Tiny AMD has two x86 design teams. Intel used to have two, but now they only have one. I find that astonishing." Who on earth told you that? If you are going to believe everything you hear, or read, you will be easily living up to your SI moniker. Please give us a break. Tony

dumbmoney - Re: "which left them with only one x86 design team and greatly extended the time between processor generations." Now I understand your clueless confusion. Intel has several x86 design teams - in BOTH Santa Clara AND Oregon. Not to mention the Merced design team. Why don't you list the x86 products that Intel has introduced over the past two years - and will introduce over the next year. As for AMD - their performance speaks for itself - Sharpy is late and the K7 looks like a big brother to the K6-2. I'm sure they will sell a lot of these at $100 - if it ever gets to market. Why don't you tell us all about the impressive K5 design and design teams and the original K6 effort which got sh*t canned. Of course, you did neglect to remind us that AMD had to go out and BUY NEXGEN to get these designers. Who will AMD buy if the K7 is a K5-repeat? Paul
