Kash,

<PAY ATTENTION - Willamette will have a DUAL RAMBUS channell to be competitive. And thats a $3000 system - they will surely sell a lot of these in y2K.

PAY ATTENTION - TIMNA - is now gonna ship with an offchip ASIC so intel can use low cost SDRAM. If you use your BRAIN this defeats the purpose of the the single chip solution, defeats the purpose of the onchip rambus controller and lowers system performance to CRUSOE levels.>

It's not "PAY ATTENTION - TIMNA", you really mean "PAY ATTENTION TO TIMNA". Just from what you are saying, it seems to me that a prime purpose of TIMNA is to lower RDRAM prices in preparation for the Williamette. If Intel succeeds then Williamette systems will not be as expensive as you make it sound. Since TIMNA is meant for low price, high volume systems, then it follows that higher volumes may mean lower RDRAM prices. Furthermore, since AMD will not offer any competition in this segment, Intel will have it's foot on the throttle. The only competition may come from Via. This clearly illustrates the frequent competitive disadvantage that AMD has with regard to Intel; they often depend on a third party to execute on their behalf. Not nice, IMO.

Regards.

SK
