John,

Re: "Intel has a 2 year advantage in process technology?"

Yes John, Intel is still ahead of AMD in process technology ... I don't
think I would "brag" about AMD's local interconnect (LI). Really John, how
much has this helped AMD ... in speed (NO) ... in yield (caused the .35um
yield crash). Not a good example of AMD technology "at its best", IMHO.
Right now, Intel is 3 speed bins (380mhz AMD newest bin <ggg>, 400mhz,
and 450mhz) ahead of AMD and continuing to lower prices on their lower
speed CPU's. AMD has managed to "eek out" a 1 penny profit ... Not good
enough, IMHO.

Make It So,
Yousef
