Paul - Re: The remaining 21% should be Pentium III, Pentium II and a few per cent of Cyrix CHEAPUs. I believe I read somewhere that Cyrix CPUs accounted for over 1 million. Assuming all were in sub-$1k machines, Cyrix' market share would have been 13%. (AMD's 3.7million ~ 48%... 1million ~ 13%). Then again, this is assuming that all AMD CPUs were in this segment, which (especially considering the ASPs) I find fairly likely. All in all, this is a definite minimum for Cyrix. Slight adjustment of the figures could lead to something very close to the full 21% (e.g. I believe the number of Cyrix CPUs was close to 1.5million). Doesn't look like there are too many PII/PIIIs in sub-$1k machines. This is not surprising. What I would like to see, however, is the number of Celerons outside this segment. This would give some indication of Intel's success with differentiating their two (performance-wise very close) products. --fyodor
