Tony, <Re: The Celeron cat is out of the bag. I don't see PIII taking over Celeron sales. That's not what Otellini said yesterday. He predicted that PIII would not only surpass PII in 3Q, but also become the highest selling CPU (sic) in the world. I think that means PIII sales become > Celeron sales. DUH. > You mis-read what I said. I am not saying PIII sales will not exceed Celeron sales. I am saying PIII will not take market share from Celeron. Two very different things. If I were to take a hack, I would say PIII and varients will be about 50%+ of Q3 and Celeron would be about 40%. Meaning that both Celeron and PIII will grow as a percentage of total CPU shipments at the expense of PII. Do you disagree? Chuck

Viola, re:<He predicted that PIII would not only surpass PII in 3Q, but also become the highest selling CPU (sic) in the world.> Why do you Intelidiots think PIII outselling PII is such a big deal? Intel is stupid for making any more PII's at all! The PIII is cheaper to make and yields at a higher clock speed. Unfortunately for Intel, I don't believe that PIII will outsell the Celeron. Petz

Tony - RE: "That's not what Otellini said yesterday. He predicted that PIII would not only surpass PII in 3Q, but also become the highest selling CPU (sic) in the world. I think that means PIII sales become > Celeron sales." That is because the PII is dying away. I bet PII and PIII sales combined this Q were greater than Celeron sales. And PIII prices aren't as steady and are falling faster than the prices the PII were at. I say this because Intel said they were accelerating PIII price cuts in light of the Cuontimemine problem.
