Darbes, re: <The real reason that iNTEL cut prices is probably their introduction of three more and significant speed upgrades that loom on the nearby horizon.> Are you looking into your crystal ball again or what? Probably on the nearby horizon? What a joke! Yes they will introduce speed upgrades, but then again, so will AMD. Why three upgrades? Maybe one upgrade but why do you think they'll get three upgrades? Did some little tooth fairy leave them the recipe for a new process technology that will yield three speed upgrades? I'm telling you here and now, AMD and Intel will be neck and neck in Q198 on performance, and AMD will surpass Intel when K6-3D and K6-3D+ comes out. After 1998, Intel will no longer be the performance leader in x86 processors. And they've already lost the sub $1000 market. Profits
