RE:"All those factors are valid except for the first one. Bin splits are doing just fine"... Do you know this first hand? What are the approx. bin splits for Coppermine? From what I hear the Coppermine .18u won't ever get much past 800MHZ which means that in this early stage of .18u maturity that 733 is pushing it...and probably more for show vs the Athlon. Jim

Tenchusatsu, re:<bin splits [CuMine] doing just fine> Still not a single "E" Pentium III on pricewatch. No 600E, no 650E, no 666EB, no 700E and no 733EB. Totally unlike the original PIII launch. There should be plenty of 133 MHz bus CuMines "in the channel," since the OEM's hardly have any motherboards to put them in without i820. Did you also notice that all the benchmarks leaking out are of the 600MHz CuMine? Tom's had a 600 MHz Athlon well before the launch, and no one benchmarked the bottom speed grade, 500 MHz. Yet everyone seems to be benchmarking the lowly 600 MHz NOTcopperNOTmine. Petz
