This is a better URL. Provides Intel's viewpoint. Also mentions that Clinton will likely veto the bill. Now the point is will AMD be aware, after all their K6+ chips are supposed to outperform even Suns high end workstations. news.com Stockman

Good news on Intel Price Cuts. Further down in the URL that had the Deshutes "export problem" news is a more complete table on the Intel price cuts, which I quote: AMD, assuming Part Was Is 25% discount Pentium II 300MHz $851 $738 Pentium II 266MHz $669 $530 Pentium II 233MHz $530 $401 Pentium Pro 200MHz (1MB cache) $2675 no change Pentium Pro 200MHz (512K cache) $1035 no change Pentium Pro 166MHz (512K cache) $412 no change Pentium Pro 200MHz (256K cache) $487 no change Pentium Pro 180MHz (256K cache) $407 no change Pentium 266MHz MMX (K6) $300 Pentium 233MHz MMX $386 $300 $225 Pentium 200MHz MMX $252 $213 $160 Pentium 166MHz MMX $145 $112 $84 Mobile Pentium 266MHz MMX (K6) $605 Mobile Pentium 233MHz MMX $691 $605 $454 Mobile Pentium 200MHz MMX $530 $423 $317 Mobile Pentium 166MHz MMX $348 $273 $205 Mobile Pentium 150MHz MMX $241 $160 Mobile Pentium 133MHz MMX $177 $106 bold prices are new AMD products announced but not yet released First, the original price cut on the 200MHz MMX was going to be from $252 to $199, now its a little higher-priced at $213. AMD can maintain a 25% discount with a selling price of $160, rather than $149. (BTW, thechipmerchant's price is already $168, while Intel's MMX200 is $230.) It is still true that with these prices AMD can maintain an ASP of $150 by simply selling more 233's than 166's during the second half of the quarter and by selling a few mobile Pentiums to pay for Tier 1 discounts.
