Joey, It's not what chip you price against it's how you price against it. I can say I price my bicycles against ferraris if i want to. 1/1000th the price. It's the margins that matter and you know that. Jim

Joey, re:<AMD has lost mucho revenue if they have to price against Celery-A>... Intel's getting about $200 for each Celery-A-333, not much less than their average selling price but way above AMD's usual price. Even at 25% discount ($150), the K6-2-333's will boost AMD's revenues immensely. Another thing to keep in mind is that production of the Celery chips cannot be changed for 8 weeks. Since these chips are better buys than the Pentium II's, Intel will likely sell out of their CeleryA production, leaving OEM's no choice but to make more K6-2 boxes. Petz
