<People expect a lot more out of Intel than from AMD and their respective valuations reflect that.> Either way, AMD's future is more in AMD's own hands than Intel's. <If you haven't noticed the difference between a typical Intel Microprocessor launch and the current PIII-600 launch then either you are too green about Intel launches or you aren't keeping up with what is happening in the market.> I don't get it. The only thing I can think of is the fact that the price of Intel's latest-n-greatest at its intro is lower than the price of previous top-of-the-line intros. Should that bother me? As a consumer, definitely not; otherwise, I would have gone with a Pentium III 550 MHz. Should it bother me as an Intel engineer and investor? Not really. I trust that even at these lower prices, the margins won't be affected. <This kind of FUD should be coming from marketing guys and not engineers. Industry sources will tell you AMD is yielding north of 700MHz today without problems.> Chuck, if you're not going to give me the benefit of the doubt regarding Athlon stability issues, why should I give you the benefit of the doubt regarding your "industry sources"?
