Does that count as a bold move for AMD? :O Or not? :\ It is a good move though if they can actually stick to it.

Seriously though, I wonder when M$ is going to release an OS for the A64...

While I could be completely wrong on this, it was my impression that the earlier shipping was not so much as to move the launch date up, but rather to avoid a paper launch. That way come september they can say "introducing desktop 64 processing, on sale now" and it will be so.

You are all wrong the launch date is still September.

"The AMD suit also claimed that the release speed of the Athlon 64 would best any Pentium 4 speeds around at the time."

That sure did tickle my fanboy side. Thanks for the info guys.
