<< even though that I am not completely convinced in 50% servers above 10K claim I can see intel making the numbers. In retail market one can sell 500MHz without problem given that the price is right but in commercial sector we may see different story. While commercial market is not usually going for top line I doubt that they would go for fraction either. Is intel offering to share commercial market? >> I'd almost say it's the exact opposite. You could probably sell 500 mhz into the commercial sector to people demanding reliability. In the consumer sector people just want to see that high mhz number. You may be able to dump some 500s at an extremely cheap price, but not if there is a 600 at the same price. Whereas, the commercial market would probably not take a duron even if it was faster and cheaper until they feel it's also reliable.
