<Chuck - re: Is it possible that Athlon will ship in 650 speed grades this quarter and has effectively killed of the pricing for speed grades below 550 MHz?> It appears that Intel thinks (or hopes) that Athlon-500 will be the volume part, and planning a price squeeze using PIII-500. But this is the ONLY response available to them. If the volume is in Athlon-550/600 range then they have no response. Starting a price squeeze in PIII-600 segment will be devastating to Intel's profits since it will ripple through their entire price structure. So may be there is a bit of wishful thinking on Intel's part (or mine). We will see. Kap.
