Chuck - RE: "Don't know how far this is true but Hardware.fr says it caught hold of Intel's raodmap being given out to OEMs." I also just read that. The thing that concerns me is pricing. Check out this page - translator.go.com Intel highest clocked processor will sell for $775 while their second highest processor will sell for only $475 at the end of Q2. As long as AMD can maintain a MHz advantage over Intel, Athlon ASPs should remain steady, but if AMD is only equal to Intel in MHz Athlon ASPs could go down further in Q2. Of course, if AMD can pump out the volumes, this shouldn't be too much to worry about. Also, Intel or AMD may do one of their unplanned price drops which could put further pressure on ASPs. I see this as a hurdle AMD has to get over for1H '00. "Personally I think this is a little pessimistic and does not account for CuMine+ speed enhancements that apparently being worked on to get CuMine to 1GHz." The roadmap does look pretty weak to me. I am sure Intel will pull something out of their hats to increase MHz faster. Also, I am surprised Celeron will be at 566MHz in Q1. I hope AMD can keep up with K6-2+.
