Lynn Computer products is still listing 700MHZ K6-2+ chips as being available for its build to order notebooks. I guess if they made a mistake and no one was there over the weekend to fix it, there'll be some red faces in the morning. You don't suppose a listing for 700MHZ K6's on Saturday led to a Sunday Press release from Intel about 700MHZ Celerons, do you? It's too late to beat AMD to the punch on the Duron at 700, and if a Duron 750 is announced tomorrow, a Celeron 700 isn't fast enough. There really isn't any point to a Sunday 700MHZ Celeron press release unless Intel in panicking over Lynn's K6 page. Just how jumpy is Intel getting these days? lynncomp.com

Right Elmer, you're long, and yet every post you make is an attempt to drive down AMD's stock price. The oldest trick in the book is claiming you're long to enhance the credibility of negative posts. As for the SETI results: it appears that the relevant data for that algorithm fits in a 1 meg L2 cache (hence the high Xeon performance), but not in a 256K L2 cache (so P3 and Athlon sit further back). Comparing P3 and Athlon performance, where the FSB is at the same speed, the performance is essentially identical per MHz. Since we know the Athlon FPU crushes the P3 FPU, I'm guessing the SETI code is probably heavily biased towards integer arithmetic (discrete FFTs and the like). Hey, did you or Paul hear if anyone at Intel found a 1-GHz part this weekend or not? Doug
