Dan3: "It appears that Intel was so terrified about the prospect of AMD entering the notebook market, that it soiled itself and its ASPs...." INTC'll have about as much success keeping AMD out of this market for any length of time as it enjoyed, despite any number of tactics, in keeping the Athy out of the consumer space...AMD succeeded in the face of much greater obstacles (i.e no history of superior product)in the consumer space so the odds of AMD success in these other 3 spaces with palomino, a product line that will no doubt provide, at the minimum, the same kind of price/performance advantages as did the Athy in the consumer space, are much greater, imho, than were those exising when the Athy was unveiled...The consumer now equates AMD with price/performance advantage...seems the consumer associates INTC with blue men and orange pipes...

Re: "Here is my post to Paul about it" ". The Pentium III 1 GHz runs at 700 megahertz in the battery-optimized mode and will cost $722 when bought in lots of 1,000 units." March 16, 2001 Intel to Introduce Chip Running At 1 Gigahertz for Notebook PCs By Molly Williams Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal Intel Corp. on Monday will introduce a new microprocessor chip for laptop computers, its first mobile processor to operate at a speed of 1 gigahertz. The new Pentium III 1 GHz uses a technology called SpeedStep, which is designed to run faster when power saving isn't an issue and slow down the processor when the user wants to extend the time it runs on batteries. The Pentium III 1 GHz runs at 700 megahertz in the battery-optimized mode and will cost $722 when bought in lots of 1,000 units. Intel is also introducing two other mobile processors. Another new Pentium III operates at 900 megahertz and costs $562. A new Celeron, for lower-cost laptop machines, runs at 750 megahertz and is priced at $170. Prior to these products begin launched, the fastest Pentium III mobile chip was an 850-megahertz version and the fastest Celeron mobile ran at 700 megahertz. Computer makers including Dell Computer Corp., Gateway Inc., International Business Machines Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Co. are expected to start selling systems using the new chips Monday.
