Re:The agressive pricing of PIII 450 systems for $1500 seems to show that Intel is slashing OEM prices on PIII as we speak.

Kash,

Do you think Intel will make a pre-announcement regarding lower then
expected earnings or will they just pull an AMD type surprise?

Another point on the 2.4v issue. In the "absolute maximum ratings," the maximum core voltage for the K6-3 was raised to 2.6 volts (K6 and K6-2 were maximum 2.5 volts). This means one of two things, either
1. AMD did extensive testing for chip failure at 2.6 volts, or possibly 2.7 volts and found no failures OR
2. The oxide thinkness was increased.

My guess is, probably 1, not 2.
