albert: INTC may want to fight, but my perception is that their guns are filled with PWeeiii blanks at the moment at any MHz level over 700...

But what are they going to fight with? 850MHz may well be the entry level Thunderbird by Christmas. They will be fighting the sub $100 duron all the way from 600Mhz to 800Mhz. The only speeds they will not have to fight will be below 600MHz, as AMD will not have any desktop chips at those speeds! If they decide to fight with the P4, they will become capacity constrained again. Additionally, if they discount a 1.4GHz chip, what are they going to sell the sub 1Ghz P3 for? TG I disagree about price war. Intel may have no choice but to fight or otherwise the new products would not make that much of a difference if amd and bunch (via, transmeta) would start setting industry standards. Regards
