Michael,

If K7 cuts Xeon margins, and Celeron cannibalizes P3 sales, I would expect Intel's income statements to begin resembling AMD's, and vice versa, compared with each company's last report. -mb

Intel's market segmentation strategy is a dangerous game. I think Intel would have been a lot smarter to let AMD in the door with $400 CPUs, rather than trying to put them out of business with Celeron.

Heck, even AMD isn't positioning K7 against the Xeon anymore. And the Celeron has been out for quite a while now, yet I don't see Pentium III sales being cannibalized.

And even if the worst case scenario somehow comes to pass, I don't think Intel will ever announce anything close to the massive losses that AMD just posted.

mb,

I read that Intel was extremely leery of breaking out profits by segment on the
conference call.


Intel has not broken out profits by segment, or product in the three years I've been listening to their conference calls. That was nothing new this quarter.
