Tony I agree with you and disagree with you First you have to remeber that INTC has spend BILLIONS on INTEL INSIDE and the words INTEL INSIDE is very powerfull, all I can say is that I asked my friends what chips they would buy if a AMD or INTEL and 90% said they wont touch AMD and never heard about it, and one friend even bought a computer with a AMD chip and changed it right away to INTEL Remember its not always the better product that wins out, look at MICRSOFT they dont have the better product we can go to every major program that they have and look at it and find a better software but they won out I can go on and on and on so we will have to see the affect of CELERON it may be that it will be supported with a big media blitz that will just put AMD and CYRIX out for good

Tony, You may have missed lanac's point in e's post. (Hey I don't know the sex of the writer so I am using a nuter pronoun.) I believe e was driving at the capability of good chips. Yes, AMD & Cyrix are unable to provide for any type of reasonable demand. But the chips themselves a good. As to why these companies are producing chips that have the type of performance they exhibit - it's simple, they copied the functionality of INTeL®'s Pentium® CPU. They did not have to forge this from scratch as INTeL® did. Therefore, they have the advantage of not falling into the same pitfalls that might give a performance hit. Should INTeL® clone the competition? No. Should they look at how the competition achieved there results? Yes! There might be things there that INTeL® can utilize to improve their chips.
