Intel decides to sell a MB/CPU for say $80.00 ( timna cost of say $25 plus $20 fro board and misc components). This would
still be a pretty good margin of 40-45%.

AMD will have to sell Durons for $XXX + MB say for <<$80 to be competitive.


Why does a Duron + MB have to cost as little as a Timna+MB? I think Duron will perform better then a Timna. If you are just going to compare costs then maybe you should compare Duron + MB + cheap video card to Timna + MB, because the Timna's integrated video, but I think it likely that many cheap video cards will perform better then Timna's video (and be easier to upgrade later).
