I don't see it as a loss leader at $240, $314 and $5xx. Why is Intel doing it? Simply to say they were first to the desktop with dual core. It's a PR stunt. They know it sucks, because they considered releasing a similarly designed server part, but decided against because of the awful performance and power characteristics. The server customer isn't as easily fooled as the consumer. With Intel selling the 5xx series in the mainstream AND adding the 6xx series next month, it seems pretty clear that the 8xx Smithfield series is a niche product, largely for PR.
