Paul Engel says AMD chip broken

Backed up by unlikely ally

FAMOUS INTEL INVESTOR Paul Engel - Hammer of AMD - has drawn our attention to a piece on Van Smith's hardware site that tells a tale of broken JPEGs and MPEGs.

It appears that some AMD Athlon and Duron chips are duff, said Paul, eager that our devoted readers should learn of the glitch.

In fact, we believe we saw this story up on the Wide World Web about a week ago, but as we know Mr Engel is concerned about the state of AMD, we shall point to Van's piece here.

The chips do not appear to be as broken as Intel's 900MHz Cashcade processor which costs a staggering 3,000 quid, if you can find one. And you can't, because it's broken. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
