Dan, The company's 800MHz Athlon chip will soon cost up to 50 percent less than an equivalent Pentium III chip processor. Reductions on other Athlon processors are also expected, according to the sources. I think that Intel may have pushed Jerry a little too far with the X-box. He seems to have taken off the kid gloves, and is ready to slam them with the full force of Dresden. Scumbria

Dan3, re:<Intel rival AMD is about to issue another round of price cuts, industry sources revealed on Friday. The company's 800MHz Athlon chip will soon cost up to 50 percent less than an equivalent Pentium III chip processor. Reductions on other Athlon processors are also expected, according to the sources. Sarah Scott, AMD's channel marketing manager, confirmed that the next round of price cuts will take place soon, but no details were available at the time of writing. The OEM price of the 800MHz Pentium III is currently set at $647 (œ410) in 1,000-unit quantities.> AMD must have heard that I bought a 750 MHz Athlon Wednesday for $359. Oh well, looks like that will be the 800 MHz price in a couple weeks. Petz
