PB,

<I do not believe AMD is ahead in the MHz department. Think about it. 650's are rare as hen's teeth. They may have a smattering of 700 systems for sale in Oct. >

Just curious, what is your bemchmark when you will say AMD is ahead in MHz department? And, how do you define "smattering"? Could you be specific in your reply?

<I view AMD's "releases" as very dubious, and do not anywhere meet the criteria for bin split and volume that Intel does.>

Agree with the dubious part but I don't understand how you can make a statement about bin splits and volumes. Volumes will be lower for AMD and bin splits - I doubt if you know. (I say that because your comments about bin splits stick out like a sore thumb compared to the other data points I have on that issue - suggesting to me that you may be mis-informed)

<If there are a slug of Tier One OEM announcements supporting K7, I will be more concerned. If upcoming announcements are limited to select retail chains in Europe offering systems, AMD has a long way to go. IMO.>

Here we are in complete agreement.
