Thread...Intel & Cabletron??!!! With INTC now into networking in a small way, how do you guys see them expanding and leveraging that business? Intel Inside the network is the most obvious next step for this giant so I was wondering which networker would fill INTC's current gaps in product to compete directly with CSCO, ASND, NT, and LU!?! Cabletron is the best buy in the industry currently with a market cap of around $2 billion and yearly revenues of $1.3 billion! Thanx in advance for your opinions! $tarpopper

Intel Investors - Intel Cuts price on Mobile Pentium II & Pentium CPUs Mobile Pentium II/266 goes from $637 to $444, Mobile Pentium II/233 goes from $391 to $262 Mobile Pentium MMX/266 goes from $348 to $241. Here's the article! Paul {===================} Intel cuts mobile chip prices By Brooke Crothers Staff Writer, CNET NEWS.COM June 29, 1998, 2 p.m. PT URL: news.com Intel cut prices on its processors for portable PCs, paving the way for more Pentium notebooks priced around the closely watched $1,000 watermark. The price cuts should precipitate "price compression" similar to that which has occurred in the desktop market. Price compression is a phenomenon in which prices for computer products consolidate in narrower bands, closer to the low end of the spectrum, shaving the margins of PC vendors and reducing their profits. At the high end of the pricing spectrum, Pentium II notebooks now priced well above $4,000 at many of the major vendors could fall to more reasonable levels as a result of the cuts. Plunging prices for other components such as memory chips and LCD screens should conspire to bring some Pentium II notebooks into the $2,000 to $3,000 range over the next few months. Meanwhile, more notebook PCs with low-end 166- and 200-MHz Pentium MMX chips should begin to appear around the $1,000 price level. Also today, Intel released its Xeon chip for high-end workstations and servers. The pricey chip is expected to help the chipmaker recover sagging margins, which drooped to 54 percent last quarter.
