Interesting P4 and Athlon benchmarks at: zdnet.com Show Athlon 1.2 roughly comparable in performance to P4 1.5 (Athlon actually faster in more apps than P4). I've estimated manufacturing costs for the components that differ between systems made with the two chips: P4 Athlon Case / PS $50 $40 Motherboard $125 $80 CPU $75 $35 RAM $125 $55 Total $375 $210 I think Intel has its work cut out for it in Q1 and Q2.
