<If you consider 15% a war, what did you consider 25%?>

A serious mistake that causes huge losses and places the life of the company in serious jeopardy, probably a place where recovery is mot possible. All to stroke the giant ego of a CEO that has a holy war going with a competitor led by a personal enemy - Andy Grove.

Grove returns the emnity, he just believes it is better to serve the shareholders instead of a giant ego.

A rational pricing policy balances demand with your ability to supply product. It rewards shareholders and employees. It is not designed to simply punish your competitor. And reward a giant ego, that commutes from Silicon Valley to a Beverly Hills Palace with the comforts of a shareholder provided limo and chauffeur.

Outrageous, that AMD had the hubris to think that paranoid Intel wouldn't respond.
