Elmer, Re: Notice the price is up to $562!

Why would anyone spend 73% more money for getting 6% more clock-speed (1.7 GHz vs. 1.8 GHz)?

BTW, looks like this is the smallest speed-bump Intel ever made. I thought they wanted to do bigger leaps now? Imagine a Pentium 100, 105, 110, 115 etc. a few years ago. And before you complain: Yes, AMD does just the same (Athlon 1.4 GHz vs. 1.33 GHz, Duron 950 vs. Duron 900 etc.) Clock-speed differences below 10% make no sense IMO because the additional performance is almost negligible. I wonder what's the benefit of that?

Elmer,

re: "Notice the price is up to $562!"

Does that show confidence that Intel can get a higher price, or does it suggest that they don't have a lot of inventory, so why not charge a lot to make sales match availability?

I don't know. I think Intel investors will believe the former, AMD investors the later.
