<According to you,>
Kevin, let's stop with this "According to you" stuff. You have an opinion, and so do I. You overestimate my valuation of the Intel brand name. I'm asking you what you think, not what you think I think.
<Should be pretty clear that AMD is not trying to fight a price war. The branding situation and the Intel FUD, coupled to more expensive infrastructure costs, the initial need to incent OEMs to use the product, and the value of Intel-subsidized advertising which should be offset against the PIII pricing make AMD's listed prices look pretty reasonable to me.>
So if Intel were to reduce its prices to match those of AMD, dollar for dollar, clock for clock, then Intel would be initiating a price war because Intel is a leader, and they must give the competition some slack, right?
Either way, AMD brags about the higher performance, yet charges lower prices. All the better for AMD if Intel doesn't respond and everyone is happy. But if Intel does respond with prices that match those of AMD, and a price war is started in the mainstream desktop market, it would be very tough to convince me that Intel is the bad guy here.
