RE:"On the other hand, AMD may want to play Intel's game, introducing higher speeds only when Intel almost catches up."... I see three trends developing. 1.AMD toying with Intel on the speed grades. Always staying a grade or two ahead. 2. Intel counters by saying MHZ really doesn't matter...too many other factors. Bandwith. etc. 3. Intel taking the "Cyrix line"...defending the P-III/Celeron by saying that Integer is what really counts and very few programs utiliize the FPU, except mutant alien blasters... Of course Intel used all this to hype their chips before...which will make it all amusing.
