Re: "Few people outside of Intel believe that Intel Brand franchise is nearly a strong as Howard High's perception."

This guy is obviously completely ignorant.

Look how fast the 3D video card market is abandoning 3DFx after its earlier infatuation with 3DFx's technology.

A CPU is an under the hood product and nobody really cares about anything other than performance. The Celeron 400 is going for $79 on Pricewatch and the K6-2 for $66. Setting aside the fact that the Celeron is a better floating point performer, it looks to me like "Intel Inside" is worth a measly $13 per chip.

I can live with that.
