Rink, also consider that Core Duo launched this quarter, so sales will not have ramped to the point where they have crossed over with Pentium M. In fact, I still see a number of laptops with the old 855 Pentium M chipset (let alone the newer 915M or the 945M that goes along with Core Duo). So Intel has a lot of transitioning to do before dual core becomes widely available. Looking at Dell's site, too, I only see 3 models out of more than a dozen that support Core Duo. I'm guessing it's probably <20% of Intel's production right now, still short of making a positive financial contribution. But next quarter, it should at least double in volume.
