Scumbria,

Re: Nobody can be expected to hit a home run every time they
step up to the plate.

Not with this kind of batting average. Well, Novell had Noorda.

That aside, I agree with you on the market share capture part.
Now it is a well known brand name, competes head-on with
Intel, and has good products. In any other business these
losses would have been expected as the price to pay for share;
a very ordinary business indeed. But with Sanders here, life
is going to be hard. Sometimes I wonder if Jerry and Andy
didn't have a $1 bet between them...

I believe it is time for AMD to narrow the 25% pricing gap.

Regards
Dinesh

Scumbria and other CPU market followers:

Doesn't it make sense for AMD to support a K7 variant on socket 7? Especially given the infrastructure and cost benefits? Shouldn't such a thing still perform better than PIII?

For the consumer market, since "MHz sells" and "cost is the king", what would be some good reasons not to do this?

Does anyone know if AMD is already working on something like this?

Thanks,
Chuck
