Jim, This isn't a fact at all, price is the marketing tool that is used to move CPUs nowadays. This is a good part of the reason that the "sweet spot is now $800-1,200 not $1,000-1,500 as before.

Intel is NOT able to move the P4s despite having a very sizable megahertz lead.

You know PIII is still selling better than P4 despite being slower AND more expensive than the P4!
