It's complete nonsense to believe that today intels marketing manager is better in announcing something sooner in advance and that tomorrow AMDs press manager again sucks that much that he didn't announce it sooner than the intel guy. Then suddenly alpha is gone :) The CPU manufacturers are *daily* busy doing vague statements which never turn out to be true. I remember the many years before the K7 was even dual and it still isn't running 8 cpu's. I remember the many years the merced would get out and then the thing renamed to itanium sucked ass, even native compiles for it (exactly 3 times slower than a mckinley at the same clockspeed for DIEP). Anyway, there is a mckinley now. There is not a k7 running 8 processors yet. >Vincent, Slater made a ridiculous statement about AMD and I called him on it. >Why you choose to make light of me and make such an obvious attempt to kiss his >*ss is embarrassing.
