Scumbria, Intel sets the prices of x86 CPUs, as was clearly evidenced the last few weeks. AMD sells their CPU's at the maximum price they can obtain. AMD sells at 25% below a "comparable" Intel chip, because (I hope I get this right) their die size is smaller, hence their cost is lower and they are helping folks beat the "price gouging" Intel. In contrast, Intel manipulates clock speeds and prices of Celerons. They could get considerably more for every Celeron part they manufacture. Clock speed manipulation? I thought only AMD buyers overclocked! As for Intel could get considerably more, I think the mantra was "Thank god AMD is here to keep Intel honest". Which company has a legitimate gripe? The owners of AMD stock for buying into this line of swill and losing their principle.
