Elmer and Paul- time to take your medicine!!!
However, analysts said that AMD is currently cranking out many more 1GHz Athlons than Intel is producing 1GHz Pentium IIIs. Mercury Research
estimates that AMD, out of a field of about 100,000 units, is out-shipping Intel by a 12:1 margin when it comes to 1GHz chips. That gap closes for
processors that are 900MHz and above, with AMD shipping three 900MHz or faster chips to every one that AMD ships. (However, in fairness, Intel's
only 900MHz or faster chip had been its 1GHz, up until the introduction of the 933MHz PIII one month ago. Meanwhile, AMD has been shipping its 900MHz and 950MHz Athlons
since early March.)
When it comes to manufacturing, 1GHz Pentium III chips are still few and far between, analysts say.
"Quite clearly, the heart of Intel's manufacturing process is really tuned between 600 and 750MHz. They've certainly brought that up over time, but that's where it's at," said Dean
McCarron, a principal analyst at Mercury Research in Flagstaff, Ariz.

I especially enjoyed this line ...
Sure, AMD could blow Intel out of the water with a wave of faster chips. But the company could use a slow down of its own, said Mike Feibus, principal analyst at Mercury
Research.
let's see, how does it go.....
BAM! BAM! BAM!
