Sheesh, this thread attracts some of the biggest lamers, flamers, and trolls out there. I'm continually taken by surprise whenever one of you mentions something about where you work or how you have experience with processor yields or whatnot, because from your posts you sound like you're a bunch of 13-year-olds who got a hold of a modem and your mother's brokerage account number. Intel's better. No, AMD is better. No, I'm better.

Grow the fuck up.

Maybe this stock -IS- a dog. Maybe it isn't. After checking the 15-year chart I'm inclined to believe it is. But things can change just as easily as they stay the same, so it's possible that this stock actually has places to go, because the company seems to have plenty of fight left in it. Either way, the chip sector is white hot and there's much to be discussed, but very few seem keen on discussing anything in a constructive fashion.

Agree or disagree, I really don't care. I won't be reading this, or any AMD or Intel, thread anymore because it's the most worthless stream of self-aggrandizing tripe and bigotry I've ever encountered on SI. Unless, of course, I feel in the mood for some mindless entertainment.

Have a nice time in kiddie land; gimme a buzz when you feel like making some money and you're capable of being an adult about it.

nus boy - Re: "This is the first time in years Intel engineers
have been challenged to design a new chip form scratch perhaps they forgot how difficult the task is."

AMD sure knows how hard it is.

The last CPU they designed from scratch was the K5 - a complete, miserable FAILURE !

AMD had to spend $800,000,000 to buy NexGEN to get the K6 which the K6-2 and K7 are based upon.
