Not that I would think you made any mistake. What confuses me on pricewatch is:
Looking at the CPU summary e.g. for 2800-model I find two lists, one marked as 333. However looking into the other list (without 333 specified) there are plenty of 333MHz FSB parts in. Some vendors specify the core, some not. Some vendors are in both list, some only in one section. Sometimes looking just at the summary you see a sharp drop just to find out going into the list that this is for minimum 20 CPU - the following day you see the price rising because this offer has been taken out.
So I do only use pricewatch for a rough longterm-trend on prices, especially to find out which model is travelling from performance to value. As long as channel-inventory is properly aligned, you can make something out of it how the process is going (which was totally impossible last year).
As for ASPs btw, the volumes going to OEMS definitely have pricetags which have little to do neither with any official pricelist nor the prices you see on pricewatch. So from pricewatch-data you cannot really calculate anything for ASP - maybe it helps to confirm any guesses or to adjust it to one side or the other. Same is for unitsales and distribution of speedgrades. Pricewatch only represents consumer and maybe partially SMB-market in U.S. (where AMD lost unitshares bigtime last year). Looks somewhat different in Europe (where similar sites allow to do the same as you did)
and totally different in Asia (where such site exist as well, but in local languages). K.
