Idiot, look at the facts.
Via is nothing.
Sure, if I was AMD I would start a big campaign
'AMD processors not sensitive to xxx(whatever) type of attacks.
AS to Intel ba****ng, I am typing this on an Intel, although for their
behaviour I would prefer AMD,
But it so happens the eeePC I am using has Intel in it,
I have to give them credit for that design (I think the design is
Intel's).
And I _do_ hope AMD gets over it, as we need competition,
For sure AMD having the graphics now may become a threat to Nvidia.
And YES the US sucks, dollar soon to 100 Euro, oil will fall I suppose
once
the Saudi king loses his pawn in the white house, and that would reduce
the need
to pester Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, for oil, as McCain wants 100 nuclear
plants,
and then maybe they start war in uranium producing countries, as war is
needed
to keep the weapon industry going, but WTF do I care,
I am in Europe, the eeePC is made in the east, in America they will soon
only
travel on horse as nobody there can afford 1K$/gallon.
So, apart from politics, YES AMD IS NOT SENSITIVE TO THAT ATTACK.
