Dan, re: It may be that, now that both companies have pretty much ruined the desktop market, AMD is focusing on notebooks and SMP systems and letting Intel have as much of the single processor desktop market as it is willing to low-bid for. If so, at least it's a plan to profitability. High risk, IMHO. From the price decreases in AMD desktop products, it doesn't appear that they have abandoned that segment competition. John

Dan, Re: "Do a search on pricewatch for Xeon 1.7 and Athlon MP 1.2," Are you trying to claim some kind of a direct relationship between how many products are listed on Pricewatch compared to how many products are in the market? "now that both companies have pretty much ruined the desktop market, AMD is focusing on notebooks and SMP systems and letting Intel have as much of the single processor desktop market as it is willing to low-bid for." Sounds like great news for Intel. As the highest volume market, this would give Intel back a good amount of market share, and give them ample room to urge ASPs back to making desktops a high profit business. wanna_bmw
