Re: Windsock, your theory only makes sense if there are enough Nwoods to cover ALL P4 demand at all speed grades

Whatever shortages may have existed last quarter and early in this quarter have probably either ended or will be ending soon.

Either now, or soon, Intel will be sitting on a mountain of Northwoods, fabricated at considerable expense.

Their problem is that they can either sell X processors at an ASP of about $150 or 1.1X processors at an ASP of about $100.

If they go with 1.1X, they'll take more share from AMD, but go into the red. They would also put AMD into the red.

According to both company's roadmaps, in two to three quarters, AMD will be marketing 64-bit performance compatible processors for the desktop with performance significantly better than Intel's 32-bit desktop processors.

AMD has more than enough money to make it through "the year of the Northwood" to Hammer. If Intel goes with slash and burn pricing for the next few quarter, they may not have enough money left to make it through the "year of the hammer."

What will Intel do?
