RE:"What does it tell you when AMD has a 200 MHz speed advantage over Intel and they have to do a DEEP DISCOUNT sale just to find customers for these? Answer: Most people prefer Intel's product - pure and simple." -- Com'on Paul, let's think about it. AMD is trying to make inroads. Intel is the "established" base, the market is not growing fast enough to simply absorb all AMDs chips. There have to be incentives for people to switch. There are several ways to make a product a better sell. In the case of chips, it's faster or cheaper. faster is better. Apparently that's not enough to do the displacing AMD wants to do so they are dropping prices. If they can add a couple of speed grades then it's more like a progression than a cut but with the 1.2 at $499 it sure looks like a cut and flood. Soon P3s will be cut big time. Q4 ASPs could still be stable as the K6-2 is fast going out of production...but the jury is still out. This cuts and uncertainty obviously have WS forgetting AMD today...but their is always tomorrow.
