>> Actually, The Register, who has historically been very accurate with processor pricing, says the 1.4GHz P4 will sell for something like $650 and the 1.5GHz for $830. And Intel will be sending $70 bucks back to OEMs this Q for selling a P4 system. $2500-3000 is normal for high-end of market, which P4 will start at. << Basically, until the P4 and DDR Athlons come down to $1500 to $2000, they will not be huge sellers. Maybe 5-10% of the volume. If a 1.4Ghz P4 costs $580 after the rebate, how much cheaper does the P3 1 Ghz get? Wasn't the next price drop down to $450 or so? If Intel has spare capacity, replacing 2 P3s with a P4 isn't a really bad way to go. Instead of flooding the market, they get a very good margin and use up all their capacity.
