I listened to the conference call and something has been troubling me. While a lot of the analysts kept coming back to the Xeon as where margins and profits will be, the guys from Intel kept talking about the Celeron (and also about the Xeon and so on, of course). I, for one, was a bit disturbed by how important the Celeron seemed to them, since I'd always thought (like the analysts, apparantly) that the Celeron was just a stop-gap and that the real money was in the top end of the PII and the PII Xeon. Did anybody else get that feeling or was that just me? Why would Intel keep harping on the Celeron when all the analysts there know that AMD has a far superior product to it but has nothing to match the PII 400 MHZ? Logos
