Yougang - RE: "We think that Intel will in fact mount a competitive response, and given Intel's previous miscues with the Celeron we think that the price/performance that Intel will offer with the PIII Coppermine in comparison to the Athlon will be compelling."

Yikes! What is this guy thinking?

Until Intel gets their PC133 chipset out, the Athlon has a clear lead in Price/Performance. Even when that chipset does come out, the two chips may be equal in Price/Performance.

PIII/i820/DRDRAM is expensive.
PIII/i810E/SDRAM is slow.
PIII/BX/SDRAM is good, but intel is getting rid of the BX chipset.

<Here is Osha's report>

Osha finally seems to be doing his research - this is a much better written report than the last three or four. Though I differ with his conclusions about what AMD can do and how Intel can respond.
