Kap, Re:" You are talking about a crippled Celeron (no L2) that could not even compete with k6-2 let alone with PeeIII. It is only in Q1, 1999 that Intel decided to go after AMD with "real" Celeron. It took the consumers and corporate IT a couple of month to catch-up with the big segmentation scam and abandon PeeIII. Watch the Q2 ASPs." Plus there was a huge performance gap between initial mendocino parts and PII speed grades. Once the 500Mhz Celeron comes out next month they will have almost identically performing chips from Intel with a $400 difference in ASP. IT managers may be dumb and stupid and won't buy AMD but they will figure out what a great deal the celery is vs PIII and even the Culatermine. Regards, Kash

<You are talking about a crippled Celeron (no L2) that could not even compete with k6-2 let alone with PeeIII. It is only in Q1, 1999 that Intel decided to go after AMD with "real" Celeron.> Kap, the "real" Celeron (a.k.a. Mendocino) was released in August 1998, not Q1 1999. It was originally scheduled for Q4 1998, but first silicon looked so good that Intel decided to pull in the schedule by one quarter. Two quarters have passed without much of a dent in ASP or guidance. Tenchusatsu
