This whole thread is about AMD not making their times, for the last 8 years. I never compared (or would compare) them to Intel. I was simply making a statement. The last 2 CPUs I was anxious to see released, missed their dates by several months. I am not comparing them to anyone. So when you come along and say "...AMD never misses their launch dates, and look how bad Intel is..." and try to flame me, I think it's hilarious. Obviously, Vincent does too. The thread is full of info on missed dates by AMD. They do. Everyone does it. They don't need you to stick up for them. As far as being popular and well like, well, I don't know about that. Just been around a while.
