Summary of systems being sold in San Diego by small computer stores which build their own computers. The following summarizes the types of computer systems being advertised in the weekly ComputorEdge flyer -- a free publication in San Diego county. Publication Date: 11/19/99 11/05/99 10/22/99 Number of storefronts: 32 34 32 Athlon systems: 66% 62% 50% Athlon 700 systems: 44% 21% 0% PIII systems: 97% 100% 100% PIII 600 MHz: 69% 79% 50% PIII Coppermine: 0% 0% 0% Celeron systems: 84% 71% 91% Celeron 500MHz systems:66% 53% 31% K6-2 systems: 72% 82% 81% K6-3 systems: 53% 68% 62% The following trends are evident: 1. Athlon penetration continues to grow, in particular the fastest speed grade. 2. Nearly everyone sells PIII systems, but surprisingly PIII-600 systems dropped a little, pushed out by Athlons as the "high end" offering. BTW, hardly any of the PIII-600 are the 133 MHz bus type. 3. It is clear AMD needs higher MHz K6x's to stay viable in the price range. As the Celeron 500 became more available and cheaper, some outlets dropped K6x. 4. It will be interesting to see this Friday and next whether any Coppermine systems are available. Petz
