<AMD is undercutting Intel's prices on equivalent products to gain market share. That's what a price was is and being AMD doesn't redefine the term.>

In a broadest term, "price war" is nonsense in capitalism. In a narrow term, it makes sense to call a pricing activity "price war" when loss is taken to suffucate the competition. Intel was waging a price war when it sent celery to the toilet early last year in order to KILL AMD. Now AMD is cutting its Athlon prices aggressively because it has abundant capacity, higher effeciency and time-to-market advantages. It is making much more money and gaining market share while doing so. That's not the case what Intel did to celery last year.

If you call AMD's current price changes a price war, it suits your emotion. But it is irrelevent.
