not all pentium type chips go into PCS. There are embedded Pentiums that look nothing like PCS.

ou are responding to this message from kash johal on Oct 26 1998 10:52PM EST Hutch, Re: Techweb article. The following statement worries me: >Worldwide PC industry shipments picked up pace in the third quarter >as 22.6 million computers were produced -- 14 percent to 15 percent >more than the year-ago third quarter -- as the industry worked off a >buildup of excess inventory that sapped growth in 1998's first half. >Strong PC growth in U.S. and Europe:- >http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/reuters/REU19981026S0003 Now something here doesn't compute. AMD we know sold 3.8M CPU's last quarter, Intel shipped 21+M CPU's last quarter, Rest of IDT,NSM,IBM etc must have shipped at least 500K. That's 25.3M plus CPU's. If only 22.6M pc's were sold then there is a gap of 2.7M CPU's. My point is that either growth was much bigger this quarter or there are a bunch of CPU's stuffed in the channel somewhere. Comments/thoughts anyone? Regards, Kash possible upgrade.
