AThWiper 2000+ prices have dropped over $10 in the past 2 days to about $227 on Pricewatch.com I guess that signals a Midnight Press Release tonight from the Midnight Press Release Company - MAD - that the AthyWipey 2100+ is to be launched - a WHOPPING 66 MHz faster than the AthyWipey 2000+ Look for the catch phrase that "Compaq and other PC manufacturers will have systems using the AthyWipey 2100+ available shortly" It also means that MAD's boy Anand should have a no-name home-made 2100+ system set of benchmarks released at around midnight as well.

And companies have to re-do their last 10 years of internal software development every 3 years to avoid the "Intel performance penalty." But hey, why should Intel care, it's Intel's customers who bear that burden, not Intel. Maybe that's a phrase that can be added to the lexicon like IPC (instructions per clock), as in, "on should always consider the IPP (Intel Performance Penalty) when buying a new, Intel based computer but not re-buying or re-writing all of your software.
