BAD HARDWARE WEEK

"Everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong," Intel claims.
However, my favorite Murphy's golden rule states: Whoever has the gold makes the (email) rules.
It very much regrets this happened.

But, does Intel regret for its monopoly status? Not known after this report.

AMD filed antitrust charges against Intel on June, 27 2005. It claims Intel has used illegal payments or improper subsidies to strong-arm a range of computer makers, distributors, and retailers into not selling or supporting AMD microprocessors.

But, what about hardware journalists? Not mentioned in article, but that doesn't mean they weren't payed too.?
P.S. -- 80% of what you read on the CPU review sites is wrong.
The 3.8GHZ Prescott, even if it had not sucked power, would have barely performed better than than a 3.2GHz Pentium IV, and in many applications it would have performed worse.
Intel's Otellini said in those words:
"We're doing product refreshes every two years, which is the model we invented and then stopped doing after Pentium 4, shame on us," Otellini said. "We fell off it -- mea culpa, we screwed up."
Luckily, one Intel's lost email is found and submited at The Inquirer.!
