Rink - OT

Your moderation-efforts are heartly appreciated, many thanks. :-)

Thing is, I do not think in dimensions of right or wrong, truth or lie. Consequently, I do not care at all who is wrong or right at all.

Actually, the only right I claim for anything i post is the right to be wrong. More specifically, whenever, whoever falsifies my musings, I learn - or at least I try to learn :-). Which I sense as potentially benefitial opportunity to advance on a learning curve.

Now, frankly, the above is more descriptive of how I would wish me to sense than how i actually feel. I am homo ludens and homo lupus as anybody else is. So I look at it as a bar set high enough to ensure I can walk through under it without the need to bend my head down occasionally. :-)

Rink,

If we were to speculate about the timeline, and compare it to the last process transition, there were reports (from Groo) that he has seen 90nm Opterons running at some show I believe it may have been either the last Comdex or the delayed Computex, and I seem to recall it was in late 2003.

The first 90 nm products were released about 3 quarters later. So if there is to be a similar delay, and the report (without a great deal of track record) that there are 65nm Opteron samples out, that would make end of Q1 seem like it may be within the realm of possibilities. A more credible info on 65nm Opteron samples would add credibility to that schedule, but we don't have it yet.
