I'm reminded of Peewee Herman falling off his bike and declaring, "I meant to do that."

Is that what PeeWee Ruiz says each time AMD announces
yet another money losing quarter?


Everytime Intel falls behind in technology, its minions get a lot of overtime in all kinds of media. They whip up a frenzy of ironic insults against AMD of all sorts, while looking in the rear mirror.
So, let's, hear it again - What is so wrong with drastically improving sales for AMD - the makers of currently the best performing processors? AMD is going to make a lot of profit in the near future.
Before A-64, Intellovers loved talking about the superiority of Pee the Fourth. Now, they are proud, because Celerons are selling in China for a bowl of rice. Go, take a couple Opterons.

Bad analogy, logicguy. Ruiz has never claimed that losing money was a financial goal. The point is, Prescott TPD is an obvious screw-up, but Otellini just won't admit it. It looks worse when you make feeble excuses. Change of "thermal target," come on. If he'd just admit, I would believe that Intel's 90nm is on track now, but with that answer, I don't know.
