Selling PIV's at $300 is the equivalent to selling P3's at $100. (based on die sizes)

Intel will destroy their ASPs at those prices.

Of course, no one is going to want the socket-423 PIVs, considering the dead upgrade path to the Northwood, 478-pin version, due out midyear, which is the version that gets new chipset support. And what 3rd party will supply chipsets for the 423-pin 6-month-til EOL version? None of them.

If Intel executes on this strategy, they might preserve marketshare, but at the expensive of slicing their revenues by 40%. That's not going to make wallstreet happy. Better to cede some marketshare to capacity-constrained AMD in hopes of catching up later in the year.
