AMD strictly moderated (AMD)

[imho]

chipdesigner,

Don't you find it the least bit ironic that Great Intel feels the need to mention their smaller competitor by name, and stage a black-box comparison between their next-generation 6-9 month 65nm future part and the competitor's 2-month-old last-revision 90nm part?

Good response. WMBW just answered your original question. Turns out he answered very convincingly, since you tap-dance your way to some other topic.

And, no it is not ironic. Intel was never great. AMD is not a small competitor. It is business. You were winning. Now you are about to lose. Too bad.

IMHO
