Gopher, can they make celery2 sound attractive? They can by come out with Celeron 3, which would be Coppermine at 100 MHz FSB, limited to let's say 800 MHz. They could continue to call Coppermine 133 MHz FSB Copperminew 866 MHz and over Pentium III. Joe

Gopher Brain - Re: ". Duron should be able to keep a step ahead but it has Intel's marketing force to contend with -can they make celery2 sound attractive?" Dupalon ? AMD announced this but nobody has seen them - except from sale ads on Amazon ! The Dupalon launch has been even WORSE than the ThumperTurd launch !! Meanwhile, 600 - 700 MHz Celerons seem to be everywhere - kicking the Dupalon's butt in the only metric that matters - SALES ! Re: "As for the impact of the P4, I will make a judgement when I have seen a benchmark from a 1.4GHz system. The double clocked ALU seems like a neat idea, but like most neat ideas it probably has unforeseen side effects that will take time for Intel to work through. " Good point - all the "paper studies" on Pentium 4 performance aren't worth much. Re: "I think that there is an assumption that the P4 will bring a huge leap in performance and this is factored into AMD's current revenue projections and share price. The market might just react positively if it turns out that a P4 1.4 is only 20% faster than an Athlon 1.2 and carries a high price tag to boot. " We'll just have to wait and see. Paul
