Intel Corp (INTC)

Well, maybe that is a bit of an exageration, but being the big guy means you really are not allowed much latitude.


True, of course, when you are #1, everyone expects perfection every time, and people always tend to root for the underdog, I understand that, and I even do it myself on occasion I hate to dump cliche's on people, but IMO the thing that folks need to remember, is that "David" was an exception, not the rule, and if Goliath didn't die on the first shot, just imagine what would have happened to David, next.


To understand how difficult this is in hardware, we just need to realize Intel is implementing it with a stepping to the P4, without even doing a new design, or calling it any sort of new product. The hardware on this one is a "no brainer"; microsoft has to do all the heavy lifting.

I hadn't heard that, but I admit I don't have much information at all on intel's NX implementation. Make Bill Gates work for a change? Sounds good to me
