You're pathetic. Why not admit you were wrong?

I argued that it was the general micro-architecture benefits of the Athlon, not the IMC, that made the performance difference.
And you were shown to be WRONG, again. The *vast majority* of the performance difference came from the IMC. Have the ovaries to admit it.
Bingo, *average* latency will be better than K8, even as latency *to main memory* will be worse.
Ms. ROTFLMAO says what?
Yes.
For that to happen, Kate, Tenchu and wbmw would need to stop initiating such exchanges, as they did in this go-round:
wbmw launches a personal attack:

Tenchu starts yapping here:

And of course, Content-Free Kate finally shows up here:

Trolls indeed.
So you haven't yet explained your claim that the IMC is not responsible for most of the improvement of the K8 over the K7, back on the AMD board.
Could that be because you are wrong again?
You certainly are the go-to gal for all things VAPid. :)
IWIN, LOL, ROTFLMAO, PWNED, BBQ, LAZER, PEW, PEW, PEW .
You channeling Kate, or what?
That pet ASCII art of yours is tired, Tenchie.
Nothing's wrong, wanna-b. Just Katie and Tenchie "discovering" ancient history all over again.
LOL, as if this hasn't been widely known for over a year. Fool.
Good one, Kate, good one.
You might want to notice the date on that post before continuing to make a fool of yourself. :)
Like these, you mean?

Pssst. This isn't exactly news, Sherlock. :)
Nothing like a menstrual joke to defend a girl's honor, eh Paul? Classy.
but not letting a dead subject die certainly could be construed as such
Like you just did? :)
Is all this crying and whining a girl thing, or what?
IPF shill says what?
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=10113460
Looks like Ashley has a much bigger clue than you do. But maybe you can use this as a learning experience regarding the broader issue of IPF's destiny of failure? Naw, you'll be hyping away until the Intel cancellation PR comes out.
The only thing I can imagine is that people are speculating on a shareholder lawsuit settlement. I suppose it is possible.
But one of my pet peeves is little twirps that come to a board and post for no other reason than to engage in flames with the other members.
How do you live with yourself, then?
BTW, you must REALLY hate Kate. :)
Just buy them from wbmw-- you might get an even lower price. :)
which was a specific dig to one particular person on this board who was a known SGI shareholder
Just because you imagined it so? Your flip-out suggests YOU were an SGI investor, hence your rage.
Like you guys holding your AMD shares right now.
To whom are you referring?
You're the one whining about moderation.
It will be? Will wbmw's be "moderated" as well?
What are you, SGI's mistress or something? Defending the honor of SGI at all costs? Or were you just dumb enough to invest in SGI, like you rode INTC stock down from the 30s?
Opteron is a distant third place choice for
any new supercomputer behind IPF and NGMA regardless.
*STILL* shilling for IPF? Read the writing on the wall, Paul.
They should use off-the-shelf x64 parts instead, and give themselves a shot at success.
All of SGI's existing common stock and the unsecured subordinated debentures will be cancelled upon confirmation of the plan by the court and receive no recovery. Accordingly, the Company believes that SGI's currently outstanding common stock and unsecured subordinated debentures have no value.
Ouch. :)
SGI filed for bankruptcy today.

It's May 6, Kate. Pay attention.
I could make a lot more money selling the option itself, but only if the stock depreciates enough in the short term, which I am not expecting.
You would never exercise your put, even at expiration, unless you held AMD shares. Instead you would sell your put, just (or indeed anytime) prior to expiration.
And for what it's worth, I only very rarely trade options.
I'd suggest you read up a bit on the mechanics.
How about this one: if AMD stock hits $23.60 at any time before Jan 21st, I can exercise it and double my money. That's only 30% off from today's price. And if the stock falls to $20.40 and I exercise, I will have tripled my money. That would be a 40% fall, which is quite conceivable if AMD starts missing guidance and has to admit that Intel is gaining back market share.
I don't think you fully understand options. One, you wouldn't exercise it, you'd sell it. Two, if the fall happened in advance of Jan 21st, there would be time premium left (though smaller as it gets more in the money), so you don't need the stock to reach $23.60 in order to double your money, if it falls soon enough.
Now let's say you want to go long at AMD's current price, which seems to be your recommendation. Given AMD's stock price of $33.50, you will need to get to $67 to double your money, or >$100 before you triple it. And I don't think there's anyone except Niceguy who's willing to put out those kinds of projections.
This is just stupid. The equivalent contrarian position would involve buying calls with similar leverage, not buying common stock.
Of course, there is a downside. If AMD stock price never drops below $26.80, I will never recover my initial investment, and if it never drops below $30, I end up with zero. On the other hand, it's all a matter of risk vs. reward. I wouldn't put all my eggs into one basket, but I have enough money that I'm willing to risk this play to see if I can get a 2- or a 3-bagger.
Again, this is not true as stated. For example, if AMD dropped to $30 tomorrow, you could get out, probably with a small profit.
If you hold to expiration, you're counting on AMD being below $26.80 in January. Seems rather unlikely.
By that standard, Kate would never post on any message boards.
You channeling pete, or what? What the heck was that essay about??? Christ.
Options that don't expire until X have no concern of the stock price at X-n
I nominate that for dumbest iHub claim of the year.
Common stock never expires. Isn't that enough of a hint for you to realize your mistake???
Who cares how any stocks you hold are doing until you sell them, right Kate?
Now, go take your seat on the short bus.
Is that really the best retort you can manage?!?
BTW, you're now off over 20% on your AMD put "investment" in a mere 6 trading days. Ouch.
The current price today is irrelevant.
Oh, dear. You probably shouldn't be investing at all if you really believe that. I suppose you think the price of any shares you hold is irrelevant until you sell them?
If investors start sensing a competitive change earlier, the speculators will drive up the price.
Where have you been? Intel has been trumpeting its future improved competitive position since IDF. Loudly. And the stock is selling off.
AMD's stock price is still inflated with absurd notions that they will continue massive share gains and growth rates, and the fact that this is becoming less likely is dawning on investors more every day.
If this wbmw-fact is dawning on investors more every day, why is AMD going up, while INTC is going down?
As for capacity, it does them no good if the market is buying Intel parts.
Wbmw, meet Mr. price-performance. Mr. price-performance, meet wbmw.
I've written down many thousands of dollars of capital gains year after year.
How much have your various INTC holdings declined over the past few years? Many thousands of dollars? :)
But in terms of *this* investment, it isn't over until January, 2007. Get that memorized, fool.
Tut, tut. No need for name-calling. You're much better at bottom-calling, in AMD stock, if only unintentionally.
