Gopher Brain - Re: " When a competitor emerges that can compete in all processor performance categories (no I am not saying this is necessarily AMD, Mr Engel, so hold the sarcasm) and we see true price competition, rather than the rather skewed competition we are seeing at present, then it is inevitable that all models or processor will come down in price substantially." True price competition ? Look at AMD's success in TRUE PRICE competition. They are HEMMORAGING MONEY. Cluesless folks like you think that any old person can design and fabricate CPUs with 20 million + transistors using only their saved up lunch money. Wake up. These CPUs cost Hundreds of millions of dollars to design and each fabrication plant costs several BILLION dollars to construct. And just c constructing them doesn't mean they are going to work properly - witness AMD's humongous losses. Companies that make these investments don't do it because cheap clueless guys like you want all computers to be free but willingly spend $38,000 on a new car. Intel is successful because they understand they are in BUSINESS to make money, not to run a welfare state for cheap whinies like you. Paul
