AMD sells their chips cheaper to break into the market. Just like Toyota and Honda did years ago... Yes... but AMD's been selling "thier chips cheaper to break into the market..." for over 10 years now. There's selling them cheaper, and then there's selling them ridiculously low. By your logic, they're spotting Intel a 3X premium to "break into the market." Toyota and Honda never sold at anything approaching that low, AND they had the strong U.S. dollar on their side. I'm sorry, I think a far more plausible explanation is that AMD isn't selling their products at a higher price point because they can't GET that price point. If you're trying to break into the market, you knock 10-20% off the point where your supply and demand curves cross... you don't knock 60-80% off that point... As to your other point, I think Intel has several benchmarks on their site which show the benefits of optimized code on a wide variety of software applications...
