I almost missed my appointment with Intel! Right after a meeting with Asus in CeBIT's Hall 13 I was supposed to meet my Intel contacts. In the past 3 years Intel's booth used to be opposite AMD's booth in Hall 13 as well. It was Thursday morning, I didn't have a press badge yet and thus no register to tell me where to find Intel's booth. I finally found it in the 'network-hall' No. 11. What an awful sight! The booth turned out to be about a third of the size of AMD's booth. The food that was offered, something that used to be excellent in all the previous years, had deteriorated down to some mayonnaise ham/salad sandwiches = no taste but ton's of calories. I decided to stay hungry, keeping my senses sharp, hehe. However, there weren't any particular news that wouldn't have been known after reading Intel's last roadmap and IDF-reports . Let's hope that Intel will be able to afford a nicer booth next year again. It would be too sad to see them and their visitors suffer!

<summary=AMD showed the air cooled Athlon 1100 once again. This time Tom's Hardware Guide got a peep inside the case ...>
