Re: "P4 has a very high cost/performance ratio, and it is tied to expensive dual-channel DRAM"

PC2100 DDR DRAM - how does that fit the current mainstream market - in terms of COST?

AthWipers need PC2100 DDR DRAM to be competitive with Pentium 4 in speed - and that makes them NO LESS expensive than Pentium 4 systems today.

But Pentium 4 systems will have DDR PC2100 - real soon now.

Scumbria, Re: Athlon will also get smaller on 0.13u

While getting smaller help reduce the cost, the main issue at hand is AMD's unit shipment seems to be cap. at around
6-8 M. We still don't see Athlon in commercial desktops, server and notebooks and the slow down would only make it even harder for AMD to crack that market.

Scumbria,

re: "P4 has a very high cost/performance ratio, and it is tied to expensive dual-channel DRAM."

I guess I didn't make my point, that I (we?) need to look 6 to 12 months down the road. You keep talking about right now, for a brand new processor. Where do you think P4 will be in six months and a year, on a competitive basis? Can Intel keep up with AMD?
