<Piii availability> Some recent data from Pricewatch: May 25, 2000: AMD Athlon 500 (28) *** 550 (46) ***** 600 (58) ******** 650 (87) ************* 700 (87) ************* 750 (90) ************** 800 (93) *************** 850 (71) ************ 900 (51) ******* 950 (37) *** 1G (10) P-III -Coppermine FSB-100: ----------------- 500 (25) *** 550 (68) ********** 600 (155)************** 650 (114)******************* 700 (107)***************** 750 (92) *************** 800 (62) ********* 850 (30) ** FSB-133: ----------------- 533 (28) ** 600 (87) ************* 666 (95) *************** 733 (80) ************ 800 (52) ****** 866 (30) ** 933 (8) It looks like the peak of Intel offering is still near the 666MHz area, while AMD Athlon is apparently at 800, or even better when accounting for the tail of older 0.25um parts that are still on hands of resellers. On the other hand, the recently introduced Intel B0 stepping may not reach the retail channel yet on full scale, so the data are not clear. What is clear however that Intel seems to be catching up, P-iii-800 are showing up at mass retail stores like BBuy and SAMs... - Ali
