Ten,

Judging from the low, low prices that Athlons are going for, I think the one-sided price war is currently going the other direction

Low prices on which speed grades?

From Pricewatch
1000 MHz $1399
850 MHz $730
800 MHz $500

I have been unable to find any Intel computers in Fry's at any of these speed grades. As an Intel investor, you should be concerned.

RE:"Judging from the low, low prices that Athlons are going for, I think the one-sided price war is currently going the other direction, Jim.

But hey, "demand is high, ramp is fine," right Jim? Funny how you were ridiculing that story ever since INTC was at 76 ... <VBG>

Tenchusatsu"...

AMD is just doing what Intel used to do...(you remember right?) raise the speed and cut prices. Especially now that Thunderbird and Spitfire are just around the corner..."hinty, hinty, winky, winky" (TM-PREngel)

As far as "demand is high, ramp is fine," I believe we can attribute that to (TM-Intel) back in the fall...and for crissakes...I hope they are yielding better now...We all expected that. The demand is high was the funny part. Of course the demand was high...higher than production.
