Shih - Re: "How many GX400 do you anticipate Dell is going to sell? "

Paul: "Hundreds of thousands."

Yeah, a couple hundred thousand sounds about right for 2001.

Seriously though, the P4 is a nice processor for video/gaming, but it just doesn't fit as a low-end processor. The mid-range P3 systems are plenty fast enough for the office. Spending more for the P4 is foolish for the corporate world.

Re: How many GX400 do you anticipate Dell is going to sell? Paul -> Hundreds of thousands.

This series will likely account for half of P4's sales next quarter. Given that P3 is fading away, many buyers refuse to settle for a Celeron, and AMD can only make a theoretical maximum of about 25 million CPUs in a quarter (with the actual maximum about half that next quarter) I would be stunned if Dell didn't sell at least a million GX400s.
