<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.> As if Intel needs to lower prices to sell their chips when they're already selling everything they can make. Intel's inability to keep up with demand represents another opportunity for AMD, who was originally demand-limited, to make additional headway. In that aspect, the drop in AMD's ASP is even more disturbing. It's not like AMD isn't willing to charge high prices; the K6-2 350 MHz debuted at $319 per chip, and that was two months ago. Yeah, I know, AMD is on the verge of releasing the 366, 380, and 400 MHz K6-2's, and the price cut on the 350 MHz may just be paving the way for the new chips. But we all want AMD to make mo' money, no? Tenchusatsu
