EP, I was talking about Q1 of '03 since that's when Clawhammer is supposed to be introduced. Also, it seems that Intel is pricing their top of the line chip at $650+.
Not a chance in my mind. AMD won't even have the 2700+ and 2800+ chips out at all until December, the 2600+ is still MIA, and the 2400+ is "scarce as hen's teeth". K8 validation shipments don't start until January. No chance for a real K8 release (as opposed to vapor) of any type at any volume in Q1.
