Dale,
RE:"

This is vitually impossible.

Maybe not. THink about. Some consumers won't pay $2,000 so a
purchase of Mendocino so it is not a loss to Intel's PII in that
case. Some consumers will only buy a PII, so Mendocino is again
not a loss. The increase volume of Mendocino is especially going
to be high in OUS (Outside U.S) market. China, India etc.."

I see what you mean Dale. If Intel is going to lose the low end to AMD and Cyrix anyway, why not gain some back with the Mendocino. Still, they cannont replace all the lost margin by selling chips with less margin. That's impossible.
