Andreas, Mosesmann must have confused cause and effect. AMD isn't enjoying high Athlon XP demand because Intel can't supply. Couldn't agree more. The shortage of P4 is the direct result of the fact that Intel's perfected P6 core is not competitive with Athlon, and Intel is forced to turn to an "experimental" first generation of Willamette core to supply the mainstream demand. The future "shortages" at Intel are a function of how competitive AMD is. If AMD can switch to .13 and deliver a boost of some 300 MHz, all of Intel's .18u capacity would become obsolete overnight, and Intel would have to deliver all the processors on .13u process, which can't happen overnight, resulting in more "shortages".
