Chung - RE: "1.2 GHz is here, major price movement for everything else."

Finally, some news that gets my mind off disappointing earnings. ;)

Whoa, those prices indicate 1.2GHz will NOT be the top speed for the Athlon, at least based on historic prices.

Pricewatch turns up TWO hits for 1.2GHz, both Athlons of course!

But the pricing is REALLY weird - 


             1.2GHz    1.1GHz     1GHz
Accubyte     $599      $593       $349
Bzboyz.com   $598      $594       $352
TCWO         $492      $371       $283
(your link)


For comparison, 1GHz PIII is $677.

It looks to me Accubyte and Bzboyz.com have gotten the 1.2GHz at the proper price, but haven't gotten their price cut on other Athlons yet. TCWO's pricing might be an indication we will see a 1.3GHz Athlon soon, at least I hope so if those prices are accurate. I don't feel comfortable if the $492 price is correct for 1.2GHz and 1.2GHz is the top speed for Athlon (desktop) this year.
If TCWO's prices are correct, we'll see 900MHz in Gateway's $1299 system real soon. Looks like AMD's holiday push has begun.

EDIT - Now Computer Super Sale is also advertising 1GHz at the new pricing - $281!
