scum bria - Re: " Who would have ever believed they could have pulled off such a consumer scam? It will be studied by marketing students for years to come."

I believed it.

That's why my Intel is up many many many times what I paid for it.

You should have believed it too.

Instead, you believed that AMD could actually make profits on a sustained basis.

Looks like your AMD beliefs keep getting shattered.

Oh well, the K7 shall set you free.

Scumbria, Re: I suspect that Jerry will be more cautious than he was in the last CC.

I don't think so. AMD needs funding(read their latest 10K) and the
only way to get that is to be up beat then followed by stock
placement or debenture.

Paul,

And what will Jerry be eating next week when he reports SIGNIFICANT LOSSES ?

I suspect that Jerry will be more cautious than he was in the last CC. Intel's ability to market nonsense has surprised even their own management.

Consider this:
Intel Pentium® III 500MHz OEM $ 635
Intel Celeron 400 PPGA OEM In stock $ 108

Who would have ever believed they could have pulled off such a consumer scam? It will be studied by marketing students for years to come."

And the FTC, and possibly the Justice Department; very much sooner than students and academic types.

Regards,

DARBES
