Go up one level in this thread


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.
