Doug, "It (Smithfield) probably yields *better* than high-bin Prescott"

Well that's an interesting thought, could be true...

The Smithfield thing does not make sense to me. And I don't believe Intel is totally stupid. So what's up? Maybe this is gonna be like flash. A loss leader for Intel that aims to screw up AMD's strategy. Intel has a ton of capacity, AMD doesn't. Maybe Intel wants to make dual core a standard item, forcing AMD to tie up its capacity making dual core at a low price. Since Intel will continue to have a frequency advantage in dual core, there will be some benchmarks that Intel can win, forcing AMD to match their price. I wouldn't think that AMD and the market would be stupid enough to fall into this trap, but who knows. Megahertz sells, right?
