Re: "Intel is two years ahead because they introduced in volume manufacturing their .25um process in Sept '97 and have stayed 2-3 speed bins ahead of AMD this whole time. Also, Intel will be moving to .18um before AMD ... Sounds like Intel is ahead to me, Kenith." You should know better than to make idiot statements and then try to defend them. Two years ago Intel was at 200 MHz or lower at .35u. AMD is well above that now, in frequency and feature size. AMD may be behind, but they're a LONG WAY from being two years behind. Intel may introduce .18u first, but it wouldn't surprise me if AMD was 100% at .18u before Intel. So really, how far IS AMD behind. Six months? Three? When will the inflection point occur when AMD has K6/3-450 out there and Intel can't match it with the PII-450? My guess is late January. Kevin
