Milo,

>Prices of both the Athlon and Intel processors are hovering around the ¥100,000 mark, but according to the piece, there are only handfuls of the latter chips, with most being sold as part of a complete PC. (One US dollar=¥96.5).

only Handfuls of 1GHz Intel chips -- another proof that AMD is outproducing Intel in 1GHz chips.

If anbody has access to this week's COMPUSA advertisement, take a look at the desktop systems advertised (pgs. 2-3). There are three Intel based - 566(Cel), 600(Cel), 733(PIII) ones and three Athlon systems - 850, 900 & 1GHz (all HP).

It's not a big deal any more to see AMD systems at the high end, but this one you got to see how it turned out visually. The advertisement contains the systems shown in a single row from the lowest to the highest MHz(left to right). This made all the Intel based systems appear on the left(low side -566 -733) and all the Athlon systems appear on the right(high side 850MHz-1GHz) distinctly showing the MHz separation between Intel and AMD based systems.
