McMannis - Re: ". Now they will sell you off just like AMD..." They will sell WHOM off? You are not including yourself. Can we all assume that you have returned to owning only AMD and Cyrix? Paul

McMannis - Your FAVORITE Celery chip OUTSOLD ALL OF AMD in Q398. According to Paul Otellini in the Intel Conference Call, Celeron shipments in Q3 were 4x the Q2 shipments. Q2 Celeron shipments were about 1 million units as I recall. That makes 4 x 1 million = 4 Million Celerons in Q3. Thus, Celeron units ALONE were greater than the 3.8 million TOTAL CPUs shipped by AMD. Looks like those "computer folks" at the local Computer Shows you hang around may not be too typical of Intel's marketplace. Imagine that - Celery Chips OUTSELL ALL OF AMD's CPUs! Cherry Sanders must be rolling over in the back seat of our Shareholder-paid-for Limousine. Paul

McMannis - Future Machines to Introduce $499 and $599 Celeron PCs Check this out, Jimbo. Intel's Celery Chip will be powering these sub $500 and $600 PCs - that sure is going to put the SQUEEZE on AMD and Cyrix. Looks like deep CPU price cuts ahead for the CLones 'R US crowd ! Paul {================================} techweb.com Another Vendor Enters Sub-$600 PC Fray (10/13/98 4:32 p.m. ET) By Todd Wasserman, Computer Retail Week Another new vendor said it plans to enter the U.S. retail market with a low-end PC. Future Power Technologies, a start-up headed by Jack Legg, a former vice president of sales for Korean PC maker TriGem, is teaming with the Greenleaf Group, a Taiwanese component maker, to release a $499 and $599 PC before year's end. Legg said the company also plans to launch a retail-based kiosk program for its high-end line in the first quarter of 1999. Future Power's low-end attack follows a similar one by Emachines, a start-up backed by TriGem and Korean monitor maker KDS. Emachines said it plans to launch a 266-MHz Cyrix M2-based $399 PC and a $499 system based on a cacheless Intel Celeron processor in mid-November. Best Buy will carry the products, said Emachines president and CEO Stephen Dukker. Best Buy declined to comment on this story. Future Power said it plans to offer a 300-MHz Intel cacheless Celeron-based system with 32 megabytes of RAM, a 3.2-gigabyte hard drive, and a 56-kilobit-per-second modem for $499, Legg said. The $599 version will also be based on a 300-MHz cacheless Celeron, but will have a higher-end configuration, Legg said. Legg said he could not estimate how many units the company may ship before year's end. "It's quite a bit less than 200,000," he said, referring to Dukker's estimate for Emachines' year-end deployment.
