Yougang Xiao - re AMD's peace initiatives You must read the following comment in the following article at: ebnews.com "The K7 is not targeted for any sub-$1,000 space, but will instead expand the served available market," Sanders said. "We clearly need the higher ASPs of the Athlon to finally achieve profitability." When asked if AMD expects to sell the Athlon at its rated price rather than at a deep discount, Sanders said "with the K7 we can compete with Intel...we can all price parts in a bloodbath, but at least not all the blood will be ours." Repeat! "with the K7 we can compete with Intel...we can all price parts in a bloodbath, but at least not all the blood will be ours." Does that sound like a peace initiative to you? Herb

Re: "<<Peace initiative?? Get real!>> Want prosperity, advocate peace! long for suffering, go to war! " You don't seem to get it. That's exactly the point. You erroneously claimed AMD is offering a peace initiative yet what they really did was offer their product at a steep discount to Intel's offerings. That's not the way to make peace. That's exactly the way you wage war in this business and that's exactly what AMD did. Not Intel, but AMD. Don't mix up the facts. EP
