<Burt - re: Your argument of Taurus vs Ferrari is flawed. The sale of a taurus does not preclude the sale of a Ferrari. The sale of a 550 MHz PIII does preclude the sale of a K7.>

Burt,

There are people who will pay $$$ for 10% FP performance boost, let alone 40%. So unless Intel can close the FP gap, AMD can always sell K7 at top-notch prices even if Intel gives PeeIII away for free.

Burt - RE: "The sale of a 550 MHz PIII does preclude the sale of a K7."

Not if the customer only wants the PIII.

No matter how you look at it, the sale of a 600 or 550MHz K7 does preclude the sale of a 600 or 550MHz PIII.

If a customer wants a high-end chip and even if they only want the K7, they aren't getting the PIII, which was the only choice.
