<<ASP's are dropping primarily because AMD and Cyrix, in an attempt to gain market share, are making and selling x86 clone chips WAY BELOW THEIR ACTUAL COSTS.>> You definitely understand the technical stuff, but on other things you seem painfully clueless.

Probably a small percent of the total unit demand. So obviously something else is going on. Perhaps a fundamental change in demand?? Mo
