Kash, Well, if there is no chicanery on the part of Intel, then waht is it? Advertising allowances that will not permit AMD products on the same ad as Intel?? So a page with 4 different systems must have all Intel CPUs to get the allowance. One AMD system and there is no page allowance at all, instead of the possibly 75% reflecting the % on the page. Now what is that. AMD product is quite good and capable and beats any Intel product of the same speed or even faster. Sadly people do not see the truth but are just marketing victims. But AMD is a victim nontheless. I am sure AMD could have made their parts faster with the tradeoffs that entails, however they failed to see how the consumer is locked to the speed as a rating mechanism. As for ASP drops, I expect that Intel has similar drops. the only high priced parts Intel has are the server parts. high priced P-4 is not selling very well. Mid range P-4 sells well, but has a low ASP. Bill
