If I were Intel, in Q1 I would
1. If the 0.18 coppermine is ramping well, I would drop the price on existing celerons to an average of $40 and target them towards notebooks. (Kill the AMD notebook market)
2. Sell the 0.18 Celerons up to 650 MHz. Price of that part would be ~ $200. Enough businesses would keep buying the Coppermine PeeweeIII's at $400 that it wouldn't hurt by ASP too much
3. Make up for lower CPU prices by selling more server chips

All these strategies are dependent on Intel getting out the Coppermine chips with 128K on-chip cache (0.18 Celeron), and new server Coppermine chips with 512K or more on-chip cache.
