Gerald, I see from the benchmarks that it is a very quick chip and as fast/faster than a P-II so it will take some P-II sales from the low end thus lowering the ASP of the mix and at the same time the AMD chips will still be cheaper due to excess motherboard, CPU costs. The low end bar is a lot higher now with the AMD K6-2 faster than the equivalent same speed Intel celeron(but only because of the 100 Mhz bus). Tom's hardware has some benchmarks that show this well. What they also show is that if you overclock a celeron to 450 Mhz it is faster than a Pentium-II at 450 Mhz. Due no doubt to the full speed cache of only 128K beating the 1/2 speed 512K cache on the P-II. this means that many will overclock the celeron and it is far cheaper. I wonder how Intel can stop such overclocking? No heat problrm even at 450 Mhz. tomshardware.com So that is why the ASP will fall (IMO) and Intel will not net gain. I suspect many screwdrive shops will sell speded up celerons for what they are, cheap and as fast as P-II Bill
