Paul,

Intel has very good processors which they need to sell at unsustainable margins to keep their investors happy. The company is trapped between a rock and a hard place.

What is Intel going to do when Mendocino/Whitney runs Winstone faster than PII? They will have a choice of ceding the low end or cannibalizing themselves.

>> You speak as if Intel had a bunch of second rate "PR-Rated" CPUs that they had to peddle at a discount to the low end market place.
If that were the case, it would be wishful thinking.
As you know, that isn't the case (for Intel, at least).

I have always wonder what Intel did with all the flawed FDIV chips! You think these are floating around someplace? Ever opened any boxes in China and looked inside?
