Elmer,

There you guys go again with that nonsense. Intel cannot start a price war by setting their prices above the competition any more than you can start a shooting war by hurling your cities into the path of an incoming ICBM.

I am sure you are aware of the fact that there are factors other than the price of the microprocessor that go into the decision (by OEMs) in which platform to use. It's a whole package with some intangibles, like the inertia, strength of Intel brand, advertising dollars, terms of payments etc. Suppose these add up to $50 per CPU, and Intel offers to sell this CPU for only $40 more than the price of AMD CPU, it is Intel who is accelerating the price war.
