Jozef, Cirrus - <Spitfire competes with Coppermine in the low end, Thunderbird owns the performance market.> That's a nice problem to have. It's not really THAT surprising, is it? I'm not an engineer, but the only reason why the higher end PIIIs outperformed the higher end Athlons is due to off chip cache, right? I think this also re-affirms that the BLITZKRIEG-bird must be one hell of a chip. From a personal view, I'm very glad I haven't bought my new 650 Athlon yet! If I can get a Spitfire cheaper, why would I? The ads in the SF Examiner weren't very nice to AMD this weekend. Intel outnumbered them probably 8 to 1. I know AMD wants to raise the bar, but not being able to compete with INTC's 500-600 Pentium from a price standpoint has hurt them. This makes me think Jozef's assumption that AMD could only produce 1.2MM Athlons is correct. Also explains why they didn't push them REAL hard from an advertising standpoint. Gotta get to Dresden, gotta get to Dresden, gotta get to Dresden! Meanwhile, RTQ $79!! Dave
