kash, Gateway considers P4 a "niche product." So, I repeat my question, How many of the top 10 OEM's will have a P4 machine available before 1/1/2001? 1. Intel is gonna stuff half their parts into a dustbin so they can meet a 1.4Ghz launch. Doesn't seem very credible to me. With a normal bell shaped speed distribution curve, there should be at least a 20% spread between the bottom and top speed bins. We have 7% here. Either they are not selling the 1.6 and faster P4's or there aren't any at 1.6 or faster. If you think they exist, but Intel is not selling them, ask yourself this question: When in the last year did Intel decide NOT to sell at the highest MHz possible? If there aren't any 1.6's and faster, then there definitely are some 1.2's and 1.3's which Intel is throwing out. No CPU line produces CPU's over only a 7% speed range. In other words, the very narrow speed distribution is proof that there are lower MHz P4's which will not be sold. Petz
