Why do you say it is not an issue of competition? We have seen the P4 benchmarks. There is a low-risk high-performing alternative from a company that has not screwed the OEMs in the recent past by supplying them with bad chipsets and processors. It is not surprising to me that the OEMs with the strongest quarter (CPQ, GTW) have a high mix of AMD processors to get a bigger profit margin. So why should they stick their neck out adopting what they see as a "niche product.

Gopher,

All of this is true but Mhz still sells.

And the P4, at least for now, has Mhz over the Athlon. The distinction you state....overall performance....I don't think is a perception that the average consumer is aware of nor would understand.
