you probably do know that intel has a hammer equivalent in the form of "YAMHILL" which they could produce whenever they felt like, if they find the P4 is lagging behind. And this will be produced on a 0.09 micron process which agin will put AMD between the proverbial Scylla and Charybdes or as the yanks would say between a rock and a hard place in any case AMD is in a "lose lose" situation. Go to the <www.businessweek.com> to read about AMD's financial problems if you dont believe me. rajen ceOn October 02, 2002 at 18:24:51, Aaron Gordon wrote: >On October 02, 2002 at 16:39:56, Rajen Gupta wrote: > >>Only if they manage to live that long which increasingly seems unlikely. i >>entirely agree that pound for pound the hammer is a better fighter than the P4 >>but by then with 0.09 micron processes, the megahertz gap will be huge enough to >>compensate for that (as is the situation at present!) >> >>rajen >> >>On October 02, 2002 at 09:55:50, Aaron Gordon wrote: >> >>>You're forgetting something.
