Cringe - Re: "If AMD is touting 650MHz in Q3 and 700MHz in Q4, AMD will be two speed grades ahead of Intel. " Think for a moment. AMD "HOPES" to make a million laughALONs by Q4. Do you think AMD is going to make a MILLION laughALONs that run at 700 MHz ? Get real ! Paul

Cirruslvr, <Good for Intel, but will 600MHz be enough? If AMD is touting 650MHz in Q3 and 700MHz in Q4, AMD will be two speed grades ahead of Intel.> Just one question. When you and other AMD posters talk about delivering 650Mhz etc., are you talking "systems"? I may be wrong on this ( correct me if I am, Paul ) but when Paul talks about Intel delivering, he is talking about "systems" in volume. The K6 inventory is proof that building CPU's does not always translate into profits. The infrastructure, from MB's and chipsets to demand and marketing, must all be there as well. Just want to make sure we are comparing apples to apples here. SK

Cirrus - <But is it even possible for Intel to have the ability to do that when the .18 600 was DELAYED two months to begin with?> .18 wasn't delayed for two months, Coppermine was. <I am also curious as to how they will position the Cu PIII at the same time as the .25 PIII.> That isn't that hard to figure, if you think about it.
