NEW AMD Logo For XP2700+

Paper Me......

http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/processors/axp_2700/1.php
It seems like just yesterday when AMD released their latest CPUs, the 2400+ and 2600+. Actually that statement is only half true right now - The 2400+'s are just starting to show up, and 2600+'s have yet to be seen in stores at all.
So it is interesting to me that AMD is launching another CPU before their last launch is even complete. I guess they're feeling a little extra from Intel lately; it seems as though every time AMD launches their fastest CPU, Intel responds just days later with a faster one.
And to make matters worse, Intel is actually able to ship their CPU's at launch date! In fact, before the 2.80 GHz was even officially announced, vendors were listing them on Pricewatch.
How these paper launches affect AMD in the long run should be interesting to find out. I tend to think it will hurt overall, and the fact that the paper launches are getting worse and worse every time concerns me.

---Oh man, Web sites making fun of AMD's marketing 2 days in a row. Those guys sure know how to make up funny stuff, eh??? Reminds me of an old joke.....

Fish Buyer: Hey, how come your prices are so high, the fish seller across the street sells fish that he says are better than yours, and he'll sell me 2 for the same price as every one of yours!

Fish Seller: Then why don't you go buy your fish from him then??

Fish Buyer: Well, he's out of stock on fish right now.

Fish Seller: Well, when I'm out of stock, my "Better fish" are 2 for one also!
