Re: Intel slashes prices, intros 866MHz, 850MHz chips The tail wags the dog yet again! Intel must be hurting to see such an early devaluation in their Cumine sweet spot (which was, of course, 800MHz I hasten to add :^)

<Here are the Celeron changes. Intel has introduced a 600 MHz (FC-PGA) and a 566MHz (FC-PGA) Celeron. The percentage drops since the last price cut on the 23rd of January are as follows. > This is what AMD gets for hanging on to the K6 core too long. This Intel move hits AMD where it is weak. Athlon supplies at 600 and 650 are tight and there is no K6 past 550MHz. Huge segmentation hole. AMD is going to lose the momentum at the low-end until Spitfire ships.

Scumbria - RE: "Intel slashes prices, intros 866MHz, 850MHz chips" Now we guage the quality this release. It took the PIII 800 two MONTHS until it showed up at Pricewatch, basically the week before the next speed grade has shown up. If Intel is getting 1M Cumines from one fab per week I would surely expect this release to be better.
