Oh yeah, and the myth that if AMD ever went away, Intel would go back to selling Pentium 4 chips for $1000 a piece. Right Are you disputing that Intel wouldn't significantly raise prices on their CPU's and/or delay price cuts that would have otherwise occurred? Yes I know of the argument that Intel is competing with their own installed base and want to keep their factories running at high capacity, but that doesn't mean it isn't still more profitable to Intel to offer much less value for money than they would otherwise have done. When I see their upcoming Penryn derived Dual Core at 3.0GHZ for $183, I could well imagine that if AMD has disappeared in 2006, they would have released this chip at a price closer to $400. So no $1,000 mainstream chips, but still much costlier than would otherwise be the case.
