"AMD officials would not comment on sales data, but they 
 say Athlon is meeting projections for revenue production 
 so far, a month after the chip's Aug. 9 launch."

An excerpt from the end of the article - "If the
Dresden experiment continues to be successful and
business is good, AMD is prepared to expand here. 

 "The site is actually large enough for two,
maybe three fabs," Heerssen said. "But we have not
made any plans at this point -- hard plans -- to
expand beyond the existing facility. "

An email received by JC - from JC's news log
"I was just looking at the prices at www.pricewatch.com,
 and suddenly realized that the PIII retail prices are
 within a couple of dollars of the OEM version, but the
 Athlon retail prices are $15 to $45 above OEM. I have
 heard that the retail version commands a price hike
 versus the OEM version, but it looks as though the
 difference has collapsed for Intel. I have no idea
 if this means anything, but it certainly is curious."

A couple of tidbits from the AMDZONE site (http://www.amdzone.com )

ooo Check this e-mail out:
    "Just got my October Computer Shopper in the
     mail today and it seems that the 700 MHz Athlons are
     just around the corner. CyberMax is advertising a
     700 MHz system with 21" monitor for $2899. They also
     make sure that the 700 MHz sticks out so its one of
     the first things you see." Joey H.

ooo "An anonymous source has told me that Tyan will have
     a dual Athlon board as soon as CPU's are available.
     I'm not quite sure what to think about this one yet,
     so don't get too excited."
