re:Doesn't it look like AMD has to discount their HIGHEST END CPU well BELOW Intel's Celeron ? Could be that AMD high-end yields are going through the roof and AMD can afford these price cuts....nah, come to think of it, i think you're right ;) joey

Brian, the average prices of those CPU's quoted to you earlier from Pricewatch are somewhat below the average pricewatch prices. But.. the deep cuts are an indication that yields on 380s and 400s are probably higher than expected. Also, just for the sake of argument, it appears that someone else's ASPs might be in more serious trouble.... Read the 14 and 15 October articles posted on... tweak3d.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday, October 14, 1998 Pentium II 450 MHz for $200 5:15 PM Keep in mind, I only post this stuff because I love ya all hehe. The Tale of the SL2W8 etc. As told by Dan "Tweak Monkey" Kennedy I don't know if you guys have heard about this, but I'm pretty sure you probably have. Supposedly, Intel manufactured a bunch of extra P2 450s. They didn't want to flood the market and force themselves to drop their own CPU prices, especially since the less than P2 333s are selling well. So.. they set these P2 450s to run at 66 MHz bus instead of 100, which made them well, P2 300s. There are a few specific step #s that indicate that the P2 300 has the .25 micron and 4.5 ns cache. They are SL2W6, SL2W7, SL2W8, SL2YK, SL2VY, and SL35V. The most common of which, and most likely to reach 450+ is the SL2W8... keep in mind, Intel is trying hard to get rid of these fast so people don't remark them and sell for a huge profit. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I guess that crippled 4-Way Xeon 450 will take up the slack though.

Paul , I saw those price drops about 5 hrs ago , they are due to one outfit Jc Sun who are $29 lower than the rest of the stores . I think that news item that I posted must have a raw nerve ! Brian

Paul, the 333 MHz Celeron A is priced ABOVE the 350 MHz K6-2 Looks like Intel will have to lower prices to avoid losing even more market share to AMD. That is not going to help Intel's ASPs. Scumbria
