Steve, RE:"I disagree; the marketing is working. Consumers are buying AMD XP chips instead of P4s with the same processor speed even though the XPs are priced higher." I will feel better when I see some XP boxes on the shelf at Best Buy, CompUSA, Costco, Sams and Circuit City. Remember, AMD doesn't print the processor speed on an XP or want it marketed by processor speed. So we have to compare PR vs P4 Mhz. Next week, Intel will increase the difference to 200 Mhz over the 2000+ which is rare right now. Not only that but the Northweed has jumped to .13u where it has plenty of headroom. As long as Amd has no .13u, Intel can dangle the carrot.
