Tenchusatsu,

You make it sound like the fight is already over, as if it's too late for Intel's 815 chipset to take back Via's gains and then some.

How do you explain the foot dragging with 815 chipset? If Intel was really aggressive, 815 could retake some of the lost market, but for some reason Intel is not very aggressive.

Also, 815 looks like just a Via clone, not a Via killer. Via is not standing still either. In Q4, Via should be entering volume production of DDR chipsets.

It seems to me as if Intel is becoming pragmatic as the competition from Athlon intensifies. The last thing Intel needs is a shortage of competitive chipsets that could possibly lower CPU sales, or make Intel CPUs less competitive.
