Cringe - Re: "AMD has no manufacturing problems and what happened then will not happen again. " Maybe. Maybe not. It happened once. What makes you think other things won't happen - like AMD's chips being incompatible with a new standard - Intel's KNI ? That could happen - do you want to ignore the possibility? Paul

Cloud, Re: "Now, AMD has no manufacturing problems and what happened then will not happen again." How quickly you forget ... AMD got into trouble when they tried to transfer their .35um process from Sunnyvale to Austin. The process didn't transfer well and it took about 9 months to get understood/resolved. Soon, AMD will be transferring their .25um process to Dresden and the same thing could indeed happen again. You shouldn't forget "history" so quickly. Make It So, Yousef
