ZDNet UK heeft het tweede deel van hun interview met het opperhoofd van AMD online gezet. In het interview praat Jerry Sanders over het huidige succes van de Athlon, de toekomst van AMD en de concurrentie van Intel. Laatstgenoemde probeerde 2 week geleden indruk te wekken met de demonstratie van een 1,5GHz Willamette (thanks Sake voor de tip):
Intel has already demonstrated its 1.5GHz Willamette processor in what is seen as a bit of a game. Are you going to continue playing that game?
If the game means we can produce high-volume production of competitive performance processors like Intel, then the answer is yes. If the game is announcing or demonstrating a leading-edge product a year ahead of introduction, I don't know if I want to even play that game. Intel can put more engineers on marketing and promoting, but let's look at mid-year. Let's see which company has delivered more GHz-based machines -- AMD or Intel? Let's take a look at that, not who will, at some distant point in the future, have a 1.5GHz processor. We believe in doubling performance every 18 months. We can do that. [break] Verder in het interview wordt Microsoft door Sanders vergeleken met God en alles wat goed is: [/break] 95% of PCs built today use the Microsoft operating system. Microsoft and AMD have a great relationship. We love Microsoft. We work very closely with Microsoft. Microsoft is God. OK?
