Richard, <As long as Athlon has no competition,...> Athlon DO have a competition in the form of P-III. The P-III is embedded in well-established infrastructure (chipset, motherboards). Athlon has none, and therefore needs to be discounted proportionally. After all, the 10% performance advantage (on average) is not impressive enough to sell the product at sky prices in the market that is 80% occupied by P-xx's. High availability of P-xxx is a big factor. The tough game for AMD is still ahead, IMHO.
