Nice catch - King of Links!

In Q4 Compaq was pretty much the only OEM shipping any quantity of Athlons (IBM may have been too anemic to count and NEC was in whole bunch of self made mess)

Now we have Compaq, very aggressive Gateway, HP, a slightly more aggressive NEC. Only way to get much better than this for Q1 would be to add DELL or some corporate SKUs. Nice!

Steve,

Thank you for the links to HP's Athlon 700 and 800! Very nice!

AMD needs those sockets to keep the ASP from falling too much below $250.

With Compaq, IBM, Gateway and HP shipping high end computers with Athlon, we might beat Intel in Q1 EPS. I do not buy the flat to down guidance.

Wow, HP will be using the higher-MHz parts! AMD has more OEMs using higher-MHz Athlons now than Q4, and we already know how good Q4 was. Maybe this is one of the reasons why AMD feels they can drop prices on other Athlons so much.
