On the one hand, it appears IBM was one of only two OEMs to actually receive 1.13 ghz cumines, and the only one unfortunate enough to have actually shipped them to customers. This would seem to indicate some special relationship with Intel.

On the other hand, IBM has almost disappeared from the mainstream PC market here in the US. Which goes back to the first hand; there must be some kind of extra special relationship for limited-presence IBM to be treated like #1, pure Intel inside customer Dell in the special case of Intel's late, lamented, limited launch 1.13ghz cumine.

Cheerrs, Dan.

Either they don't want to offer AMD systems at the performance level in the US any more (currently they don't sell any Athlon systems) ore they don't want to offer AMD systems at all. I suspect Intel has to do something with this decision... Let's see if IBM introduces Duron systems.

Andreas,

It could be they want to be first in line (ahead of Dell) for the P4.
