<Thanks for that URL describing incredibly ho-hum PIII demand>

This is in the retail space, mind you. People who buy high-performance computers are going to be reluctant to purchase their Pentium III systems from places like Circuit City. And people who buy computers from Circuit City will only find those sub-$1000 computers sitting on the main display shelf, while the expensive $2500 Pentium III machine is conspicuously tucked away in the "specialty-computer" aisle.

That's the problem with all these press reports about the retail space. There are people out there who think that AMD is now shipping more processors per month than Intel. They don't realize that this is true only in the retail segment, which itself makes up under 10% of the total processor market.
