Maverick bloomberg today pointed out 1st thing in the morning to poor performance of celeron vs k6 which is positioned to compete with it. Intel claimed that poor performance is due to pre-production chip yet if the following is not April fools joke Intel was shipping Celery fo a while already: exchange2000.com the lower than expected price may be an indication that the results are more valid than Intel let us believe. On another hand Intel is going to invest 4B in Australian fab in addition to recently announced 2B in Asian markets. That is a $4b investment that comes together with buy-back fillings and increased expenses. Is intel finally going to issue a substantial amount in bonds? Regards -Albert
