Paul, re: <Some time next year I suspect Intel will offer up a Katmai with perhaps 256 KiloBytes L2 cache on chip or more to replace the current Deschutes.> OK, so what's the difference between this and Coppermine? Are you suspecting that Intel is going to release a 0.25 micron version of Katmai with on-chip 256K cache? If Coppermine is released in Q3 1999, why would Intel need to have such a theoretical 0.25 chip in the meantime? Tenchusatsu

Paul Engel, re:<As Intel drops prices on existing CPUs, they always manage to introduce newer, faster CPUs at the old HIGHER prices - which offsets the ASP decline in the older products.> So they should have had historic revenue and earnings growth over the past several quarters? ;-) And it seems to me new CPU's used to come out at $800 - $900. What were the intro prices on celeron? And you have to admit they're intro'ing CPU's at a very rapid rate. What was the life of Celeron, (non-A),less than a year? It's not the same any more.
