RE <<<Customers benefit when the newer chips are introduced more rapidly and existing chips are reduced in price. eMachines Inc., for example, just introduced the $899 eMonster 500A, a new desktop PC based on Intel's 500MHz Pentium III chip. >>> This article says it all...the faster that AMD increases its MHz, the less $ it makes. ted

panic_mob, <It seams INTC already accepts that AMD will be the first to introduce 1GHZ processor. And INTC will try to catch up. It still sounds strange to me. But I think I need to get used to it from now on.> When you made the above statement, were you referring to the following paragraph? If not, what made you say so? "AMD?s Thunderbird is expected to reach the 1GHz level in the second quarter of next year. Intel?s Pentium III will match that mark some time next year according to Pat Gelsinger, an Intel vice president and general manager of its Desktop Products Group. Along the way, he indicated, the Pentium III will likely come out in 750MHz, 800MHz, 866MHz and 933MHz versions" Chuck
