<Right again. Intel's only costs are their direct manufacturing expenses, and they have no interest in maintaining a stranglehold over the CPU industry.> Nice strawman, Scumbria. If you look at the costs toward Mendocino development and platform support, they only make up a very small fraction of Intel's entire R&D. In light of that, Intel is getting a very nice ROI in the form of Celeron revenues, and the Pentium II/III has not been cannibalized as everyone feared. Pretty good for a 3.5 year old processor core, no? Meanwhile, AMD's entire R&D budget for the past three years was dedicated to every iteration of the K6, yet AMD continues to show red ink. That's a pretty rotten ROI if you asked me. Oh, but wait! June is only six, uh, I mean two weeks away! Tenchusatsu
