<By then, producing Xeons will be much cheaper, and they will have taken PII to such a commodity status.> It doesn't take that much more to produce a $6000 Xeon than a Pentium II. In fact, please correct me if I am wrong, the Xeon is simply a Pentium II with a very large cache. In one of my news posts a few weeks ago, it was estimated that Intel will have to sell 1 Xeon per 20 CPUs to maintain their profit margins. That's with Xeon's at today's prices, not at tomorrow's discounts.
