There you go with your wild assumption that consumers look at a PC they might buy and say "yeah, but does it have Intel Inside??" Just doesn't happen. They've heard of the Pentium, but not necessarily Intel.

KZ,

Your data shows that K6-2 price advantage is very thin: <$20.

In a $399 computer, $20 means the entire profitability of the system.

<<Celeron is faster at same MHz.>>

That's debatable.

<<And Celeron is still Intel Inside.>>

Fair enough. More so for corporate IT managers. The very reason that put Celerons in ever growing large number of business PCs are bad for Intel and AMD alike.

<<What more do you want to know?>>

When AMD is to die?
