<< But AMD, has NOT been selling 1.33 at the same price as Intel's 1.7 and I expect that to continue. Plus there is a $100 to $200 higher platform cost for the P4, so AMD 1.33 systems should not be as expensive as Intel 1.7 systems. >> I agree that for now, it's not a big deal. I was arguing the point that when platform costs for p4 drop due to sdram chipsets that we'll be in trouble. As long as p4 is saddled with rambus, I'm not too worried. << Personally, I don't believe we will be seeing 2 GHz P4's anytime soon, i.e., 1.4 Athlons will definitely arrive first, and possible 1.5's as well. >> I'd expect 1.5 ghz athlons and 2 ghz p4s to come at roughly the same time.
