Intel just bagged a cool $50,000,000 - with possibilities of going even higher is they hold their warrants and Broadcom returns to its old highs. Paul- If that happens, Kap Kan will say that since none of it should be included in earnings, it was not a good decision by Intel management. Frank

Paul - Re:"And AMD will be stuck with their one AthWipey system in the lab running SMP something-or-other." AMD now has 2 SMP systems running -- one in the lab and one in Jerry's limo.

Pentium III Chip Prices Nosediving The downward trend of Pentium III chip prices is accelerating following the release of high-end Pentium IV processors and outgoing chips' inventory glut, and local personal computer makers are likely to slash their prices of Pentium III-based machines. Industry analysts say retail prices of 800 MHz Pentium III processors started at $851 a year ago but fell to $385 last November. In case of 733 MHz chips, retail prices fell to $337 from $776 six months ago. Prices of 933 MHz chips went down to $348 from $744, and the cost of 1 GHz chips slipped to $465 from $990 six months ago. ``Prices of processors will fall when they enter a mass production stage,'' said an official from Intel Korea, the Korean subsidiary of the U.S. microprocessor giant. However, industry experts pointed out that the downward trend largely originated from Intel's unique marketing strategy. Intel has periodically launched new chip models every two months, cutting the price of outgoing chips. They said the move is part of an effort to increase demand for Pentium IV chips, which control the high end of the low-price PC market. They said that the price cuts reflect Intel's strategy to quickly move Pentium IV into the mainstream. Domestic personal computer manufacturers are expected to concentrate on selling their existing 800 MHz products, as sales of new PCs equipped with 1-GHz Pentium III processors, which hit the market late last year, are slower than expected, it said. Local computer firms are focusing on existing popular models rather than new ones because of the sluggish growth in the domestic PC market, which dipped in the latter half of last year as dotcoms started to crumble. Meanwhile, industry experts predict computers equipped with 800 MHz Pentium III processors will lead the market for the time being, to be taken over by Pentium IV instead of 1 GHz Pentium III computers in the latter half of the year. kdh@koreatimes.co.kr Subject 50522
