I"ve noticed a few sites with Athlon XP"s for sale now. They"re currently quite a bit more expensive than P4"s at the same clock speed and a little more expensive than P4"s at their "Rated" speed as well.
Here is a link to a Pricewatch page with the Athlon XP"s on it. As you can see they aren"t cheap. I"d like to see how long it takes for their prices to lower. They most definately need to to compete with Intel, especially with OEM"s who are currently dropping AMD CPU"s from products lines like flies it seems.
