It was estimated in an article that I saw today that Intel's cost for a Xeon is about $200, but will be sold for around $4,000. This should help keep Intel's ASP up. The K7 may help change this, but by then everyone will want Merced (maybe). Pravin.

Petz, you need to get a grip on reality. You are totally underestimating AMD's cost trying to keep up with Intel in speed grade. If you think that AMD will make any money selling CPUs at $100 a chip, then you are kidding yourself. Don't believe all the hype that Sander's puts out about AMD's strategy of selling $100 chips...yeah right! joey

<PII is twice cost of production of K6-2, which equals its performance at same clock speed. > Sorry John on both points. PII is probably cheaper to produce, and unless you are blasting mutant aliens, the PII easily out performs the K6-x clock for clock. EP
