Re: "By definition if any company regardless of size successfully drives some of it's competitors out of business by lowering prices it is said to have engaged in a price war. I believe if one is lowering prices for whatever reason but doesn't drive any competitor out of business, it's not officially called a price war."

Then by your definition, AMD was the one who started the price war and Cyrix was the victim.

I also see you as hiding behind a misleading definition. You may be happy with it but I do not see it as applying to a company with an inherently higher price, such as Intel. The definition applies only to companies that drop their price below the price set by their competition. Hence AMD conducted a price war against Cyrix as well as against Intel.
