Paul- RE: "Intel's EPS has not stalled - at $0.89/share they were UP $0.01 from a year ago and UP $0.23 from the Prior quarter." OH MY GOD! An approximately 1.2% increase over last year! WOW! If this continues, I will be a billionaire in 5 years! Since you seem to like comparing quarters, AMD earned $0.01/share this quarter. Although not much, it is $0.23 UP from year ago and UP $0.46 from the Prior quarter. "The "trick" is to maintain ASP's or increase them." AMD must have learned this trick because they raised the price of the K6-2 300MHz. "Intel is clearly doing this with a superb segmentation strategy." Unfortunately this "superb segmentation strategy" is backfiring because people who want to purchase PII 333s can purchase Celeron A 333s for much less money and not lose too much performance. "AMD is stuck with declining prices and increasing DIE SIZES." Who says Intel isn't stuck with declining prices also? Too bad for you, AMD's die sizes are still smaller than Intel's die sizes.
