Intel Core 2 Duo Launch

Today was a good day, the Intel launch event was quite entertaining
I went to the Intel Core 2 Duo launch today. It was a very good event,
well organized in a marquee tent outside of the Intel campus. There
were a number of people I knew and many I didn't, and there was much
ado about the new processors. I met with My Intel rep, as usual, did a
bang up job making sure we were taken care of. He introduced me to
pretty much everyone and made the event very comfortable.
I was
surprised to see Craig Barrett there - and in his usual conservative
style he was sitting amongst the who's who of the engineering team
during the keynote. I had a little discussion with Mr. Barrett as he
looked over our Omen machine and he said it reminded him of his white
and blue Ford GT. Pretty cool stuff.
Yesterday I wrote a fairly
long detailed entry regarding the ramifications of the ATI + AMD deal.
The entire blog entry was overshadowed by the following statement...
"So, I think the same thing of the music industry. They can't say that they're losing money, you know what I'm saying. They just probably don't have the same surplus that they had." -- Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA
