Mary, re: ASP's/Projections
The link to my authorative source is dead, but if I remember correctly, in CY'97 Intel shipped about 80 million CPU's generating ~ $20 Billion in revenues. The other 5 Billion was from flash, chips sets, LAN chips, M/B's, etc.
Your 12 month "WAG" is 85 million CPU's generating about $31 Billion in revenues.
I think you're probably close on the number of CPU's, but way off on revenues from CPU's. My guess is that Intel's CPU revenues will be flat to slightly up, depending a lot on the success of Celeron and the competition. From recent articles I've seen Intel intends to get even more aggressive in the low end market, and this could be a drag on revenues and margins.
I think this is also the reason the consensus estimate has dropped from $4.73 to $3.27 over the last six months. That's a 30% drop in just six months, and makes me wonder how Intel will maintain margins above 50%.
