Paul, here's my strategy for Intel to regain some lost ground. I'm sharing it with you, because I know Intel is too stubborn to change course and use it.
1. Immediately transfer nearly all wafer starts to the Celeron-A design (on chip 128K cache). Invent a new name for these chips, not Celeron or Celeron-A.
2. Switch to Socket 370 design much faster than January, 1999
3. Start selling 100 MHz bus versions of Celeron A in the 350, 400, 450 speed grades for $100 less than Pentium II prices
4. Release a Katmai 400 MHz in Socket 370 package in January of '99. This will be the low-end Katmai.
5. Match AMD pricing to Tier 1's MHz for MHz, sell any higher MHz chips for $500 or more.
6. On the corporate front, buy out 3DFx, bribe VIA by giving them a juicy Slot 1 license but not telling them that Intel will kill Slot 1 totally in 1/99.

Can an 800# gorilla dance?
