Pravin, <From the following Intel price cuts, I would say that the release of higher frequency AMD mobile processors is just around the corner: news.com > We all knew this was coming, didn't we? In about 4-5 weeks, AMDs product line is likely to be ahead of Intel's product line in every performance segment. Here is what I see for early October. Low-end desktop: K6-2 550 Vs. Celeron 500 Performance desktop: PIII-600 Vs. K7-700 Servers: Xeon 550 Vs. Athlon-Ultra 700 (700+?) Laptop: K6-2 450 Vs. Celeron 433 (and possible K6-3 if they can get the 0.18s to roll out by that time) That would be a first for AMD - passing Intel by a speed grade or more in every market segment! I am sure we will see more and more of Intel releases, announce price cuts in aticipation of new products! Chuck P.S.: You will not that the laptop price cuts are rather steep. Even the new speed grade is being introduced at a lower ASP than the speed grade that moves to the second place.
