Paul Engel re:<I have heard current manufacturing levels of the Celeron are approaching ALL of AMD's K6 + K6-2 production.>
Don't you think that's rather scary?
Can I conclude that between K6 and Celeron these two companies will produce enough of these chips to support almost half the W/W demand of PC's? (IDC forecasts 1999 at 91 Million PC's. With Celeron and K6 ~10 million units/qtr next year?).
If the demand is there I see some real margin issues for Intel.
If the demand isn't there, I see some real pricing and margin issues for both companies.
This looks to get even bloodier, with the consumer being the only real winner.
