PB,

I have some rough cost information from intel sources. Nothing that's accurate to the penny. Again my Intel contacts are techincal as well.. so they aren't the bean counters.

As for the destroy competition/profits. My point was Intel has taken a path down the middle of higher-profits and destroying the competition. One way or the other is better than 'indecisive' action IMHO.

Let's be honest. If Intel hadn't cut CPU prices at most AMD would have 2.3 million more CPUs. In comparison those unsold AMD cpus were probably lower margin Celeron sales by Intel. Don't you think it would have been better to let AMD have the nickle and dime stuff and keep the prices up?
