Re: "You miss the point Max. Intel had the confidence to push the Katmai to the limit (804mhz) IN PUBLIC. That was on .25u. Guess what it will do on .18u!!! "

If AMD had cryo-cooled the K7 and demo'd it in public, and it crashed and burned the way the Katmai did, you people wouldn't shut up about it. We'd still be hearing about it when K8 was a mature product.

Fact is Intel demo'd a chip at a clock speed it couldn't handle. I think THAT is EMBARRASING.

I can't fault AMD for playing it straight and conservative.

Elmer,

Re: " If only they could have plugged your (Maxwell's) mouth into the socket...."

Elmer, I doubt that AMD would have been able to supply sufficient "cooling".
Maxwell's mouth always runs "hot". <ggg>

Make It So,
Yousef
