But I guess crybaby huffing and puffing, or blaming intel, is what AMD's officers do best

Do best? I thought it was the only thing they do...


You're right, I meant to say, the only thing, that's for sure. My mistake. In contrast, look at what an intel spokeperson's response was to Hector's, and Marty Seyer's crybaby antics.....

"We'll leave the debates over design elegance to others," said Intel spokeswoman Laura Anderson in an e-mail Friday. "At the end of the day, what matters is the platform value that is being delivered to the marketplace for the people who use the technology."

Anderson said Intel has long planned to launch its chip next week, which coincides with the 40th anniversary of Moore's Law, company co-founder Gordon Moore's famous prediction that the number of transistors and other components crammed on an integrated circuit would double ever two years. That prediction set the pace of innovation for the semiconductor industry.


So it looks to me like intel had a chance to "spit back" at AMD, but instead decided to take the classy high road, instead of lowering themselves to wallowing around with AMD in the pig slop.

I'm not surprised :-)
