Paul - RE: "Isn't AMD the company that delayed the K6-3 for six months also worthy of your bile and vehemence?" Why don't you count the six months you are talking about. You have stated numerous times that the K6-3 was supposed to come out in Q4. RE: "And lets face the facts - the MERCED is quite a bit more complex than just grafting a 256K L2 cache onto an existing K6-2 - yet AMD's slippage was as bad as Intel's Merced slippage." Excuses, excuses. Merced is Intel's next BIG thing, more so than how big the K7 is to AMD. Intel has the power, money, and potential to retake over the microprocessor world starting with Merced. ANY slippage of the Merced's release hurts Intel a LOT. You, I, everyone else here, and Intel know this. Here is something to think about: ebns.com Betcha you're happy Kurlack resigned.
