Elmer,

You think so? Considering that Intel ran out of fab capacity last quarter, just what would have happened without AMD on the scene?

Intel has plenty of capacity for .25u Pentiums. AMD rushed Intel to .18u CuMine before Intel was ready. Without AMD, Intel would have waited with introduction of Coppermine until January.

Coppermine 666, 700 and 733 would be top of the line processors at with pricetag of 733 close to $1,000.

We would still have .25u P3 as the mainstream choice until enough .18u capacity is online. The schedule of the change-over to .18u and Coppermine would be entirely in Intel's hands.

So the summary: there would be no shortage and Intel would be in charge of the pricing it's product.
