Paul, theoretically it'd be possible for Intel to practice predatory pricing in some markets (eg. low end Celeron chips) and still maintain the high margins in the high end markets that Herb is referring to.

However, I don't think anyone is seriously charging Intel with predatory pricing. The case appears to be about Intel's practice of withholding certain technical information with the intent of driving the competition out of business.

By the way, historically its been pretty tricky to make a good case for predatory pricing, so it's not likely that the FTC or DOJ would make it their focus--even if they had some evidence that it was happening.
