Kash,

<If you also check out CPQ's site:

Athlon 600 is lowest speed AThlons for the $1200 range as well. And lots of systems all the way to 800Mhz.

Seems like 600 is "low end" for Athlon speed grades now.>

Yup! I have also been keeping an eye on the MicroExpress web site that Goutama linked us on a while back and check out what they have now. (this to check if there was any channel stuffing at the end of the year).

microx-press.com

This is very consistent with what we saw about a week back. The distribution looks good.

That should put quite a bit of pressure on the remaining Katmai PIIIs that Intel has in the pipe - squeezed between budget K6-2 533 and entry-level high-performance Athlon-600.

That should significantly alleviate any price pressure for Q1 and probably Q2 (until CuMine ramps).

Chuck

P.S.: The Athlon 600s probably will put a lot of strain on Dell because of their dependence of Katmai/CuMine
