Bobs, don't you think management is improving now they acknowledge their mistakes and put in place some focus (right from the moment Tejas got cancelled and they accepted AMD64 in sort of the same spring / end spring kind of timeframe)? They've got catching up to do. But they're reasonably likely technically capable of doing just that with the first real next generation of processors (i.e. 65nm ones that are based on an entirely new core), and management seems to push exactly that. So I agree management has made some rather bad decisions, especially in hind sight, but they're taking some very right actions (imo) now. That's at least my stance until some significant indication shows they screw up with that too. Rereading your post I think that despite the strong words you might actually kind of agree with this as you mention Intel has to get it's act together in 2006 at the latest.

Kind regards,

Rink
