Joey, Re: AThlon ASP's I agree. I suspect large OEMS are averaging in the $200 range and tier 2's are probably in $300 range. A $250 ASP is what is expect for rest of year, unless 650/700 volumes are substantial. regards, Kash

re: "Drbes, I stopped reading your post after you assumed $400 average ASP." Indeed, then why even waste your time, mine, and that of members of this thread with your valueless response? DARBES

Joey, Athlon may well get that average, esp with the 650 added to the mix. Of course he means the Athlon onle. The blended ASP of all AMD processors will, of course, be far lower. Bill

Joey, Re: I hear IBM & CPQ got some "sweet deal" from Jerry to be 1st users. That is reasonable. Look at where IBM & CPQ use Athlon in their systems, Aptiva and Presario which are the consumer line that has relatively low margin. To compensate for the cost of those motherboards(comparing to SS7 and even LX/ZX/BX ones), they would press for sweet deal. When Athlon appears in their enterprise product line, then that is a sign that Athlon is really standing on its own feet against Intel. Otherwise, it is viewed as just another 'cheap' stuff from AMD like K6, even though I would say that all the benchmark suggest that it beats Intel's offering by some margin(and I wonder if Coppermine will take back the lead).
