Re: Any idea what the (overall industry) ASP for servers is and/or Dell's ASP for servers?
I calculate the industry average ASP at $7800 for 1998. This is from IDC's numbers of 2.2 million units and $17B in revenue.
Dell is a little trickier. Again you need IDC data for the missing variable
Unit's shipped = 46,915 Dell's revenue = 3.92B Enterprise sales = 11%
(431M revenue / 46,915 units) = $9,193
Using this same approach, we can calculate Dell's ASP for the other two lines of business.
Units Rev ASP
Desktops 1297350 2.59B $1,994 Portables 260799 901MM $3,457
Using this same approach again, we can now look at ASP trends over the last 5 quarters.

Servers $7,383 $7,923 $8,858 $9,374 $9,193 Desktops $2,336 $2,299 $2,271 $2,013 $1,995 Portable $3,657 $3,809 $3,502 $3,487 $3,458
Enjoy!
