    It's not quite a vacuum. Some information are fixed, like for instance the fact that Applied Micro publically announced the APM83290 in October 2009. Do you really consider it possible that they had scrapped Titan and the first CPU to be based on it *before* they publically announced that CPU?

    > The dates you've mentioned for the likely shift in development

    What's to be considered likely in this case strongly depends on which source of information is followed, and beyond that at which point in time it is followed, as even one and the same source doesn't shy away from changing the story back and forth as time passes.

    > are close to when I approached Applied Micro about an NDA.
    > No one I talked to was anything but positive about the Titan core.

    When was that exactly?

    > their reason for no giving me an NDA (you don't maintain a website)
    > was pretty lame

    I remember you mentioned that in early July, a mere three days before the Linley Group reported on July 5th that Titan had been killed. Now do you retrospectively suppose that your contacts at Applied Micro only pretended to be positive about Titan, hiding their true feelings and/or knowledge in that matter?

    > I don't get my suspicions about Applied Micro's solely from your postings.

    I very much hope so. After all, you had closer contact to them than me (which isn't that hard considering that I had absolutely no contact with them to date ;-) I merely quote and combine statements I can find on the freely accessible part of the Internet here.

    > the incomplete information a half-truths we've been getting the whole time

    ...not to forget the mutually contradicting information.
