    Intel shifting focus : New Slot 1 P3-600 to fight against AMD Durons

    Just in time when AMD announced it's delay shipment of K6-2, Intel decides to produce 500 thousand Slot 1 processors.

    As for AMD, the delay phase out of K6-2 can pair up with Duron to "sandwich" Intel Celerons market. This is becasue K6-2's mainboard is cheap but Duron mainboard are expensive. The delay of the phase out date of K6-2 results Duron+mainboard combination higher than Intel Celeron+Mainboard.

    As for Intel, Celeron is no longer a competitor to Duron. Intel is trying to deter the AMD camp by using lower end Pentium III Slot 1 proecssors. This is exactly the same when AMD first announces Duron, it still manufactures the K7-550 to attack Celeron 566. When the Slot 1 P3s are out, Celeron's mission is to target K6-2, while the target of AMD Duron will be the new Pentium III.

    So watch out for the low priced Pentium III Slot 1. It should be very attractive.. perhaps as overclockable as the Celerons to 1Ghz??

    quite likely that these pIII 550's will actually be using a core from a much higher speed chip and will happily overclock to the moon and back!

      I'll prolly buy one if they have a 100mhz fsb and at least 650 mhz before ocing.
