I agree. I'm expecting 20ish percent.
Who knows... They could've accidentally tripped over a breakthrough design.

in these days? that would have to be a whole new platform
or as NN posted somewhere ... a powerpc-like cpu slapped to am2
fortunately AMD's Hyper transport architecture is extremely accepting. In fact if tomorrow Intel created a processor that used AMD's Hyper transport, added a DDR2 IMC and made it fit the socket F specification. It would be drop in compatible. Socket F is the first truely Open source Socket EVER. ANY company can make any class of processor they want (MIPS, Power, Alpha, Itanium) and as long as they follow the Interconnect specifications, they would have a MASSIVE base of working chipsets and a rapidly growing base of compatible mother boards. A G3 processor could be slightly tweaked and be mass produced for under $5, which could make a SERIOUSLY HUGE dent in the OEM market.Quote:
