Scumbria - I believe that entry level processor business should be split off from the high end, to avoid the current situation where Intel is killing off entry level competition using revenues generated from their server business. Interesting. I would disagree, and say that AMD could probably more effectively compete with Intel if they modified their strategy. Other posters have mirrored my thoughts on this repeatedly to you, so I won't bother to repeat them now. K7 is the last chance for Intel's competition. If it fails, there will be serious consequences throughout the industry. I'll agree with the first half of this. But what about Centaur, Cyrix, Rise, reportedly Transmeta, even this Moscow concern your favorite publication is reporting on <g>? I wonder if AMD is effectively killing of these competitors and potential competitors by their 25% below Intel strategy. How are <these guys supposed to compete in this environment? Without Xeon, Celeron would and could not exist. Everybody knows that (even if they won't admit it.) Scumbria Their is no way for me to know the answer to this. I am personally glad that Intel does have a successful product that targets the higher end, and produces them in sufficient volumes and at attractive price points such that business users seem to be buying lots of them. This is offered given my inherent bias on such matters. PB

Re: "Without Xeon, Celeron would and could not exist. Everybody knows that (even if they won't admit it.)" Scumbria, you have repeatedly make this claim and never presented any data whatsoever. I find it difficult to classify it as a simple falsehood as I think you are knowingly and willfully making a dishonest statement. Your bitterness over your AMD losses has turned you into a pathological falsehood teller. EP

Scumbria, Re: "Without Xeon, Celeron would and could not exist. Everybody knows that (even if they won't admit it.)" What do you think, Scumbria ... Is Intel cutting off AMD's "air supply" with the Celeron ?? <ggg> Is that AMD "gasping", I hear ?? <ggg> Make It So, Yousef
