John Wang-"traveler" - <Fools' take is on Intel> Fairly stupid take. The article based iteslf on the false thesis that the Pentiums-II are cheaper to manufacture. This is simply cannot be true as I proved in my several posts here: Message 4027548 Message 4318564 Message 4481414 Ananlyst's estimations are in the range $90 -$120 for PII while the typical cost of the Socket-7 processor is no more than $30-$35 depending on current yields. The Intel's profit comes from excessive pricing of their high-end chips $500 - $800. This has very little to do with manufacturing cost as the superficial Fool implies in the stupid article. IMHO, this excess will be shaved off really hard in the near future. Waiting for your future enjoyments, I remain, - Ali
