Ten, <Nothing's changed, then.> What did you expect to suddenly change? The "800-pound gorilla" suddenly become a shy little kitten? Or all the R&D expenses associated with Athlon infrastructure development at AMD's partners IBM and Compaq just suddenly disappear? <the Athlon just becomes a mere bargaining chip, a symbolic token> Time will tell how "symbolic" it will be. To justify huge markup on Pentiums, Intel has cultivated a mass mentality that yells and cream pants when seeing 3-5% performance advantage of one chip over another. With clear Athlon lead in both performance and MHz, all this sick mentality will now fight back, in favor of AMD CPUs.
