Re: "Intel, however, doesn't have any choice: It's simply protecting its turf against AMD's Athlon chip, the fastest on the market. The 500 MHz version of Athlon sells for $324, the 550 MHz version for $479 and the 600 MHz version for $699. "The price cuts are going to put pressure on the 500 MHz Athlon, which is AMD's high volume product for the second half of 1999," says Gwennap " The fastest on the market?

re:"The price cuts are going to put pressure on the 500 MHz Athlon, which is AMD's high volume product for the second half of 1999," says Gwennap " Very bad news for AMD. PIII 500 for $265 in a few weeks!! Wow. Intel is now playing hardball on its PIII line. AMD will not only lose mkt. share as PIII becomes the volume leader, but they can forget about profits anytime soon. It will be fun to watch Jerry have to pre-announce another disatreous quarter in about a month or so. I was hoping for a run-up to the mid 20s, but now it may never happen. joey
