Re: kap's observation that the Athy XP 1900+ (i.e. 1.6 Mhz) is listed on price watch at $246 vs. the p4 1.6 MHz at $152 is definitely something that INTC is not used to... Now add in that AMD's 2-way SMP chip, the 1.53GHZ 1900+ MP sells for $294, while Intel's 2-way 1.5GHZ "foster" Xeon goes for $220.

This is not a valid comparison as the 1.6 GHz Athlon is NOT marketed at 1.6 GHz but a 1900+ Mhz chip (vs a T-bird or P4 or whatever). AMd has even given instructions for OEMs not to mention the true MHz of the chip. If you are going to compare it should be a 1900 Ghz P4 to a XP 1900+. in price. Without the PR rating AMD would be in even deeper trouble than they are.
