John, Re: What exactly did AMD do to force the consumer to buy higher end Intel chips, and drive high end demand for high end Intel chips?

By offering superior performance? If you can't get an AMD Athlon XP1900+ you'll settle for the next best thing -- an XP1800 ... err I mean a 2 GHz P4. <g>

John,

Why doesn't Intel sell 2 Piiis instead of 1 P4? They take about the same production resources. There would be no shortage. Think about it - AMD selling XP 1900+, Intel selling 1 GHz Piii.

Intel has to sell chips that are in the same desirability ballpark as AMD chips, but it means making chips that Intel can't make in sufficient quantity. The shortage was a deliberate tradeoff.

Joe
