Goutama,

<A blurb on AMD price cuts from The Register - reasons behind the AMD price cuts mentioned in this article, seem like they were taken right from some of the good analyses posted here by Dan, Chuck, Cirruslvr, etc.>

<The Athlon 550 is now terminated. The 600MHz will cost $190, the 650MHz $226, the 700MHz $270, the 750MHz $350, the 800MHz $530 and the top of the range model, the 850MHz Athlon, will cost $750 from next Monday.>

I like the timing of the MHz/price moves. Intel is ramping pretty fast. The window to aggressively gain market share without killing the overall ASPs is now. So, I am glad this is happening. Looking forward to a great Q1.

Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if some out of touch analyst comes up with cautious statements and ill thought out comments on price wars.
