FF, <I know exactly what predatory pricing is....and it's not Intel cutting prices to stay in line with AMD.>
Really? Who was that company that dumped to
the low-end PC market the chip called Celeron?
Exactly the same chip as their flagman P-II but
priced 4 times lower? (Please don't tell me that
they shaved off a $5 cache chips)

<no one really (except perhaps Scumbria) believes that
AMD can destroy Intel,..>
There are evidences that there is more than one person
who fears this. Your own open vocalizm on this (AMD)
thread is a proof.

No matter how you or lawyers would define the term
"predatory pricing", it is clear that the success
of AMD is solely dependent on destruction of Intel.
Why? Because all Intel business model is based
on monopolistic pricing. AMD presence poses the
greatest threat to this monopolistic ability.
On the other hand, as it is typical to a monopoly,
Intel slowed down in technical innovation and cannot
deliver any new design so far. That's why Intel
has no other real alternative but rushlessly
destroy any competition, and they are perfectly
executing these plans.
