More PC-133 talk

This is from The Register, so take it for whatever you want

"Intel outed on PC-133

Unnamed sources rather close to Intel today revealed the truth about PC-133, Direct Rambus, VIA and the rest.

According to our extremely reliable source, Intel does have a plan to use PC-133 but is currently involved in an argy-bargy with VIA over the terms of its licence.

Intel does not want VIA to release the PC-133 chipset before it releases its own PC-133 chipset. It thinks VIA's licence precludes the Taiwanese company from so doing. VIA, unsurprisingly, takes a different view.

This must be seen as a climbdown and a u-turn. We can't quite find a metaphor which adequately describes the humiliation this represents for the chip giant. ®"

Jim,

Re: "There you go again, making up FUD."

No Jim ... Just "repeating" what YOU have posted on February 17th --->

Message 7870599

"I wouldn't be surprised if AMD still eeked out a small profit for the
quarter (Q1). Jim"


Then on April 30th, you posted this -->

Message 9236874

"I do agree, the hope for a break even quarter was a quarter premature. "

What do you think will happen for Q3, Jim ??

Make It So,
Yousef
