Re: Intel DID NOT REDUCE THE PRICE OF THEIR TOP CHIP

Well of course not, it's all they've got. They have to try to at least present the appearance of being able to compete with AMD :-)

Besides, with 600MHZ being such a stretch for the Intel .25 process, they can't have more than a handful to sell.

Did you see Tom's article about how easy it is to overclock the .25 Athlon to 750MHZ? And how stable it was at that speed?

August 27 for the .18 667 and 700 coppermines? Better hurry up, they're needed now! And then up to 800 to 900 by the end of the year, but that's looking like pretty much it for quite awhile.

AMD has .18 aluminum for Q4, that should be good for at least a 100MHZ over coppermine.

Meanwhile, with that much headroom on the Athlon on .25 aluminum, the .18 copper here for the spring should complete the transition of Intel to "your networking products company".
