combjelly,

Think about it for a moment. Those corporate SFF boxes
sell for >$1k. There is no reason why a DTX box with non-
discounted x2 5600+ processor and chipset can't sell for less
that $650 with better than normal margins. The current
equivalent from Dell with Intel is going to run you more than
$1200.
...
While you might be correct and AMD discounts even more in
such an environment, they don't have to if they want to make
that sale. It pretty much sells itself.


I agree that it looks good. I suppose AMD can still have
decent margins even if they discount a little (which they
would do, I am sure of that). I don't know if you have been
following my discussion with Jozef on marketing, but I feel
AMD should get rid of its cheap cpus company image. Do you
think AMD will try to enter the corporate SFF market in the
near future?
