Yousef - Re: "HP's $799 Pentium MMX 200 MHz PC"

Great find! What a story!

Intel has come from "Not in the Game" to "Leader of the Pack" in the sub $1000 PC "space" (I use the media lingo here!).

Well, times are going to get tougher for all CPU makers who can't produce CPUs at super high yields, high volumes and low cost.

I wonder if there is blip in Intel's depreciation schedule that will allow them to reduce the "cost" of these CPUs to just the silicon cost - that is, nearly depreciated fab equipment for these older 0.35 micron processes.

Any thoughts?
