Analyst Tips Details of Intel's Banias Mobile Chip Is A Mobile Price War Ahead? By: Mark Hachman Intel will likely have to cut prices of its mobile microprocessors between now and the 2003 launch of its next-generation integrated "Banias" processor, an analyst said Wednesday. The result could be a pricing war, similar to what has happened in the desktop PC market. According to Kevin Krewell, an analyst for Instat/MicroDesign Resources Inc. in Sunnyvale, Calif., Intel's product line will consist of the mobile Tualatin processor and the mobile Pentium 4 until the end of 2002. At that point, Intel will take another swing at an integrated processor, the Banias, Krewell said. "It's a highly-integrated Timna 2, in a sense—without RDRAM, of course," he said... Krewell called the recently-launched Athlon 4 from AMD "a very strong competitor", and said the chip will have a definite advantage until the launch of the mobile Pentium 4, expected in the first quarter of 2002. Krewell said he predicts Intel's blended mobile processor ASPs will decline by 20 percent from the fourth quarter of 2001 until the fourth quarter of 2002 as a result of increased competition and continued reliance on the Pentium III's microarchitecture. Perhaps in response, Intel on Sunday cut prices of most of its mobile Pentium III processors, with the discounts reaching as much as 37 percent. Lots more at: extremetech.com
