joey, re:<Charles, you might want to revisit your "Intel is a dog" campaign when you compare the cost/performance of Coppermine with Athlon.>

Whether cost is $50 or $100 is almost irrelevant if you have a speed grade one or two higher than your competitor, since it'll have 80%-90% gross margin anyway, and sell for $100 - $200 more.

I'm sure Intel would rather have an extra 100 MHz than costs that are $50 lower, don't you agree?

I am keenly aware of that metric - K6 was miles ahead of PII/III on that metric and probably will be miles ahead of CuMine on that same metric - that was the metric that ensured that AMD remained a dog all these years. In case you haven't noticed, to the winner of the MHz race go the spoils.
