Paul Engel, Re: Sub $1000 PCs were in the "single digits"
I agreed that "revenues" were probably in single digits. But I'm talking about percentage of "units" sold. I feel Compaq will sell approx 1 Mil sub-zero "units" in 2H, or about 16% of total "units".
Even if Compaq sells only 500,000 Cyrix machines in 2H, they have also sold a lot of sub-zero P54/55 166/200 mHz machines. Both into the home and into SOHO and biz markets. This is still consistent with what Compaq IR told you, since they were talking about sales and not units. (Correct me if I'm wrong). I think the key here is that sub-zero's are beginning to represent a significant total of units sold, and growing.
My source of units sold is from IDC. Click on "Strong demand for Q4..." at this site.
