<And obviously as a somewhat eloquent proponent of Intels superiority why do you think that the retail customers are flocking to Intel alternatives.>

I said it back in the AMD thread, but I guess I'll repeat it for the INTC guys here.

Even after Intel cut prices on the Celeron to regain marketshare from AMD, it seems that AMD was willing to hack off their own arm and cut prices in response. AMD is more concerned about keeping marketshare than about earning profits. That's not a big deal with AMD, since AMD really didn't have much profits to lose in the first place. But in the end, the OEMs saw no real reason to dump AMD and go with Intel in the low-cost retail end, since now they can get AMD chips for pennies and make out like a bandit.

Intel could easily price the Celeron so low that AMD will go bankrupt, but of course, the FTC wouldn't like that.
