Barry, thread, has the WSJ article in this Motley Fool post been in here yet? Just a URL, maybe the WSJ gets testy if you copy and paste their articles?

Some comments (maybe they don't get testy if you copy small pieces??).
A new low-end Celeron processor, code-named Timna and running at 600 megahertz, will hit the market in the second half of the year,
With everything that's integrated into Timna, I think "new low-end Celeron processor" doesn't do it justice.
Otellini also touted the company's success in selling processors for high-end computer servers, saying that Intel now holds 53% of the market for servers costing $10,000 or more.
This is awesome. Is Sun nervous (I know, Solaris, solutions, services, salami, salami, baloney).
Intel has traditionally been outside that market because its chips weren't considered sophisticated enough. If it won out in the high end at all, it was because its chips were better priced.
"As we look forward," Otellini said, "it's not just price performance we're good at, it's absolute performance."
I think Otellini is being conservative here. The Pentium Pro, and now Xeon, got Intel into a lot of critical apps.
