Joe, <That's a wrong way to look at it. 800 MHz Athlon is basically a discontinued product. Just about all of the current yield is now in 950 MHz to 1.2 GHz range.> Then why aren't any of those high-speed Athlons showing up in CNET's Top Ten list? <You may find it interesting that AMD Athon line has approximately the same ASP as Intel's blended ASP (from Celeron to $2,000 Xeon).> Nice of you to take AMD's highest-margin processors and compare them to Intel's entire product line. By the way, Athlons made up only 30% of AMD's entire product line, while the other 70% is made up of AMD's low-end products (Duron, K6). Why is that? Surely AMD would want Athlon to make up a much bigger percentage than that? Maybe AMD doesn't really want to maximize profits ... Tenchusatsu
