Greg,

Intel can lose the entire low-end market and still make plenty of money

That is exactly the point. If Intel's management had their thinking caps on, they would let AMD and Cyrix in the door, and everybody would be perfectly happy to sell CPUs for $200+.

Instead, the paranoid management of Intel keeps cutting prices, mindlessly hoping to kill off the competition. All they are doing is dragging the entire industry down. They think their phoney-baloney "market segmentation" scheme will make them safe until AMD kicks the bucket, but they are wrong. Their customers (Compaq, Gatweway, Dell, etc.) are not stupid.

Would AMD rather sell CPUs for $300 or $100?
