Get a clue on how long a CPU project takes.Silverthorne was started in 2004 and AMD has no reply whatsoever.
So what is AMD doing ? Where is the x86 everywhere stance except on power point presentations ?

You see , there is a difference between being vocal and actually getting the job done.Being the 1st to announce something doesn't mean you are the innovator , it's just clever marketing when you're empty handed and have nothing to show.Anyone with half a brain can grasp this.

As for multicores , gives us a break.Intel had Montecito , Yonah , Core , Tulsa all underway or taped out ( Montecito ) by the time AMD starting promoting multicore.

The funny part is that the 1st dual core x86 CPU was Intel Pentium D 840 Extreme Edition. ( launched April 4th while AMD X2s were launched a month later , May 9th )

AMD reviled GPU+CPU plans a long, long time ago, and when they realize they can't pull of on they own, they snatch ATI...
You don't get it.When AMD revealed their plans , Intel was already well underway with such products.AMDs' plans were a reaction to Intel's work.

and maybe a light bulb will turn on.


I guess you've calculated all scenarios for AMD's demise, and found perfect formula in NVIDIA's antitrust charges against Intel...
Simple economics.AMD's business model is fundamentally flawed and something has to change.
