Re: "The money to be gained on X-Box for the chip maker is miniscule" Those chips will be dirt cheap to make. They will come off what will then be an older process that is fully depreciated with sky high yields and virtually no engineering support whatsoever needed. A great way to utilize old equipment and an older fab. EP

eplace: Re: "Now Paulie is bragging cause they got a low, low end chip contract (by next years market anyway)." Comment: Everything coming out of Intel's dozen fabs is around 600 MHz...No wonder they could undercut at the 11th hour...Beats having to give them away, I guess! At least it's not a total write-off, just another negative drag on earnings that will have to be offset by investment earnings!

Ed P...<<<The money to be gained on X-Box for the chip maker is miniscule. Now Paulie is bragging cause they got a low, low end chip contract (by next years market anyway). Wow, the things those *ntel guys grasp at for straws. Ed P.>>>>>>> What else would Intel do with all those low mhz chips being produced by the millions at fab 12 that Elmer was talking about. One can sell only so many toilet seat warmers.

Mister Ed - Re: "The money to be gained on X-Box for the chip maker is miniscule. Now Paulie is bragging cause they got a low, low end chip contract (by next years market anyway). Wow, the things those *ntel guys grasp at for straws." Several clowns said essentially the same thing about Intel in August, 1981 when it was announced that Intel had won the contract to supply 8088 CPUs to IBM for their soon to be introduced (at that time) Personal Computer. Guess what that Design win did for Intel ? Yep ! Paul
