Constantine, Re: "The quantispeed athlons are selling at a slight discount to the P4 @ equivalent Mhz. Compare that with what AMD was getting for the TBirds. It's a major improvement." When the end of the quarter comes, you can compare the volumes of Athlon XP to Athlon, and see if the price was justified. Otherwise, all you are seeing is the effect of seasonal demand for a low volume product. Remember that AMD still expects a loss - this would imply small volumes of Athlon XP, since they are selling for more of a premium. wbmw

Constantine, <Quantispeed worked ok. The quantispeed athlons are selling at a slight discount to the P4 @ equivalent Mhz.> The gist behind the "QuantiSpeed" campaign is to show that an Athlon XP system at a given "QuantiSpeed" rating is faster than a P4 system at the "equivalent" MHz rating. This should be especially true for P4 systems with SDRAM. Yet everywhere I go, I see many more P4 SDRAM systems for sale than Athlon XP systems. That tells me how well AMD is getting the message across. Pointing out price listings on PriceWatchItDrop.com is pointless because most people who use that web site know the difference between clock speed, "QuantiSpeed," and actual system performance. <x86-64 and Intel's variant> Already assuming that Intel has a variant in the works? That's a good one. Tell me again, what advantage will 64 bits give AMD on the desktop? Tenchusatsu
