Re: "What data do you have - oh wisest one?"<p> Just this. But I know, you can't believe evarything you read.<p> <a href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/zd/20000623/tc/it_s_a_post-gigahertz_hangover_1.html" target="_blank">http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/zd/20000623/tc/it_s_a_post-giga...</a><p> However, analysts said that AMD is currently cranking out many more 1GHz Athlons than Intel is producing 1GHz Pentium IIIs. Mercury Research estimates that AMD, out of a field of about 100,000 units, is out-shipping Intel by a 12:1 margin when it comes to 1GHz chips. That gap closes for processors that are 900MHz and above, with AMD shipping three 900MHz or faster chips to every one that AMD ships. (However, in fairness, Intel's only 900MHz or faster chip had been its 1GHz, up until the introduction of the 933MHz PIII one month ago. Meanwhile, AMD has been shipping its 900MHz and 950MHz Athlons since early March.)<p>
