<<You don't get it. AMD tried selling processors in the $50 to $60 range once and built a business model around it.>> That's one of the biggest FUDs ever! AMD's b model as you and I both know is based on $100 ASP (sure, not there yet). In the K6x only days, AMD's chips were forced to sell for 50 to 60 range and no higher end cpu to get the blended asp up. With Athlon, blended ASP should go up. But the days of $50 a chip days will remain, whether a K6 or Athlon or Celeron thanks to the brilliance of Intel's segmentation. The point is, as times go by, some speed grades of Athlon will fall into 50 to 60 range. If AMD can sell these chips to MSFT for gamebox, would it be a reasonable deal for AMD? Sure, it is!
