Please count me in for any discussions on SOI, strained silicon, and related process technologies. Regards, Dew

Spokeshave, Re: Incidentally, I have, on several occasions, tried to start a discussion about strained silicon and how the Intel transition might go. You guys seem to have no interest in discussing it.

I'm guessing you are mistaking a lack of interest for a lack of knowledge. I have looked at the presentations on strained silicon, but beyond that, I don't have any personal knowledge on the technology.

Re: I am not sure if that is because you have your heads in the sand, or becasue it has nothing to do with bashing AMD.

It looks like you are the only one here caught up over AMD and Intel bashing, since every single one of your posts seem obsessed with exposing some kind of bias. If you want to have a discussion, why don't you just start one, instead of complaining all the time?

Spokeshave -

OK, I will, provided that you make a case for AMD needing a "hail Mary" at the time that the Hammer design was announced. Times were a bit different then, and AMD was on top of the world. Hammer was by no means intended to be a "hail Mary" product - although it looks like it might be after all. Hammer was meant as a "gorilla killer".

I don't accept your premise. Nobody would take such a risky path unless there was no viable alternative. All the stars have to align perfectly to even have a chance. That's either an act of desperation or insanity and needs no further proof.
