Re: but Intel is stuck with 3M unsold chips

If you reread the article, inventory is mostly old chips. Tillamook are selling well. I just checked out dell's back order list. Notebook P233MMX is there. Based on intel's current pricing practice, the 3M unsold chips will make a good case for intel to cut portable P166 and below CPU's price. A very good welcome gift to CPQ's non-intel notebook introduction.

Re: . A 300MHz P2 is not that much faster than a 200MHz PMMX for most tasks

You can make the same case with P120 and P200MMX, but nobody sells and buys P120 anymore. It is the peak performance matters, not the average performance.

IMHO, as long as global economy holds, intel is pretty safe investment.
