AMD strictly moderated (AMD)

[Ixse]

Kate, you're not being specific enough as you did not react to my main point which is that Sam Naffziger lead both the design team responsible for McKinley, and that for Montecito. Your post actually does not deny this. Sam wasn't just another design team leader which is what you just implied. He lead the teams responsible for what I think were/are the most significant IPF designs (McKinley & Montecito). That is at least what I understood from reading RWT (small article + some PdM posts).

For this board it's not relevant whether you find him having left sad or not; it's a significant departure both for further IPF development and for AMD.
