PB,

What is the Spitfire core for, if not to compete for just the kind of lower end business that the X-box would be?

AMD had a wonderful experience competing against Intel at the low end with K6. I can see why they might have wanted to repeat that experience with x-box.

Intel has the cash on hand to undercut any AMD sale at the low end. They could pay Microsoft to use their CPUs. The only way that AMD can compete is to have a faster processor than Intel, which for the time being they do.
