P4 northwood already is 0.13 let's not forget it. K7 isn't yet and already clocked to 1.73Ghz :) whatever math i do. at pc processors AMD is completely annihilating intel, if you consider the market share AMD had and is going to have. >On May 08, 2002 at 23:54:50, Vincent Diepeveen wrote: > >>Sometimes i hate company politics.
