re: "Huh ?"

AS YOU KNOW I LIKE TO PLAY WITH NUMBERS AND RATIOS. I RECALL (POSSIBLY NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATELY) THAT THE ceLERON ii WHICH WOULD RUN AT APPROXIMATELY 80% OF THE SPEED OF THE peEiiI HAS SOLD FOR 20% TO 25% OF THE PRICE OF THE peEiiI. SINCE IT SEEMS TO MOST THAT DEPENDING ON HOW YOU WEIGH THE SPECTRUM OF PERFORMANCE TESTS OF THE ATHLON vs THE peEiiI, itS PERFORMANCE IS LESS THAN 80% OF THAT OF THE ATHLON WHICH WOULD ARGUE RELATIVELY PERSUASIVELY THAT it SHOULD SELL FOR LESS THAN 20% OF THE PRICE OF THE ATHLON. LET US WATCH WITH GREAT INTEREST AS VOLUME RAMPS UP ON THE ATHLON.

ALSO DO PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MOBO, CHIPSET, AND TAILORED SOFTWARE INDUSTRY FOR THE ATHLON IS STILL RELATIVELY PRIMITIVE AND CLEARLY ONLY IN ITS FIRST GENERATION. THE COMPARISONS MAY BECOME EVEN MORE DRAMATIC WITH TIME DESPITE inTELS cuONTIME AND OTHER PERFORMANCE EFFORTS.

COMMENTS? EVEN coMMENTS?
