On October 29th, it will price its 1GHz CuMine at around $450/1000, to take advantage of the ramp. Is Intel trying to undercut AMD prices? I guess given Intel's recent reputation as an erratic and unreliable supplier, this may be seen as more posturing. But this is not the first time Intel tried to undercut AMD pricing with imaginary product. When 1 GHz was introduced, AMD's list price was $1,399 while Intel priced their phantom 1 GHz chips at $999.

Comment: Don't you love it???They just never cease to amuse...One year later, almost to the date, Intel continues to promise to produce meaningful quantities of PWeeiii's above 700 MHZ...Wonder if, once again, it'll be a year from the promised date of Oct. 29th, before they can actually deliver meaningful quantities at retail...

Jozef - RE: "1GHz war not over, Intel claims" Haha, Intel is cutting the price of 1GHz PIIIs to $450 nearly two months after AMD will drop the price of the 1GHz Athlon to $495. Does Intel really think they have caught up to AMD? Those 1.13GHz SAMPLES sure are scaring me! And did you notice the article also said the 1.1GHz PIII will come out in Slot format? Intel was supposed to be moving to socket parts. Is Intel having cooling problems with these faster processors? Do these GHz PIIIs require a brick on their back to run properly? But didn't someone point out something about about no fan with 1GHz PIIIs? jajajaja
