AMD Big technical hope is that while Nahalem ramps from 2 to 8 cores, its only 733 million Trannies-Yeah, like gears feeding data about-Giving AMD Price/Performance charts that should be Hopeful. Its Tuk wi la job thats hotter class & SOONER yet, Dunningtom or ham with 6 cores, it really big, 30 gb cache & 1.9 billion trannie istors, & you know what I don't find much difference between desktop designated cpu parts & server designate cpu from same make/model level, so why not game with Main Frame CPU Dunningthing..?Well first you need mainboard.Next about y2k$ EACH.

What will happen to Charlie

Is Charlie, our ever loyal DAAMIT salesman be affected with these layoffs?

Stunned... good work

Finally a person who writes an article and rather than just re-print the AMD statement verbatim, actually tries to analyze it and ask what are they really saying and what are they not saying?

Well done sir (seriously)! Granted this one was pretty easy to see through, but most folks choose not to see/analyze!

Me thinks the worm is starting to turn on AMD's continuous spin cycle over the last few years and people will now begin to question how AMD parses their wording.
