khillo, I did not intend to either
deny or disparage doma's fine input to this venue.
That does not negate the fact that doma sees Wave
going into everything. You have seen the chart, have you not?
Doma's argument is that these various vendors must use Wave or they are simply wasting their time and that nobody would own a TPM and not use it.
My first three mobo's had a Weitek coprocessor socket in them, and each time I asked if it did before I bought it, and I never installed a math-co on any machine.
Silly me. Somehow I'm thinking the folks at Weitek were pretty high about that, and to naught.
Doma and I have a difference of opinion on what translates into revenue, I perceive the path between bundling/prs etc as a much longer and more tortured path. And even if your socket or compliant chip is shipped, usage is far from automatic.
Oh yea, and I suspect IT managers ("enterprise customers") were at least as sure as I that they had that empty Weitek slot on their machines (and VESA compliant as well, LOL).
I believe Wave is going to be a small important piece. Doma believes Wave is going to be a big important piece.
We differ.
Your Friend,
Dig Space.
(edit, if I'm right I make money, if doma is right I make a lot of money, if we are both wrong, I likely some lose money).
The above content is my opinion.
