Ed, Great link. "AMD also had a good month, as its chips were found in 26.2 percent of all PCs sold in June. In the sub-$1,000 segment, AMD's K6 chips represented almost 45 percent of the market. Stephen Baker, an analyst for PC Data, said market share for the sub-$1,000 category last month rose 190 percent compared with June 1997. The category now accounts for about 45 percent of the market, he said. Even as sales grew, the average selling price for Windows-based PCs hit a new low of $1,123 in June, PC Data reported. That number is a 20 percent decrease from June 1997." 26.2% of PCs sold and 45% of Sub $1000 and unit prices are still reaching all time LOWs contrary to some of the blather Paul E. has slung on the BB. Of course this is good but you're gonna be stunned at AMDs share in July. Current production capacity is in excess of 6 million chips/qtr and FAB 25 is still running 7 days a week! If Intel drops the Celeron 300 to near $100...that's not going to help them. Celeron is now a bottom of the bucket chip without good business scores and no 3DNOW...Mendocino has no 3DNOW either...
