Steve,

Then tell me how is "Intel going to destroy the competition" [you're inserted goal, not mine] with your model? You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. If Intel wanted to destroy the competition, it could throw profits to the wind and do it, I suppose. But that's illegal, and for many reasons, stupid. This is business. Most businesses have competitors that need to be responded to.

And I will always ~$2B profit/q is the bottom line. If Intel gets there by responding legally to competitors pricing to maintain marketshare and still make a real healthy profit, than that is obviously the correct thing to do. Not "destroy the competition, or the other extreme, cede market share.

BTW, do you're secret inside sources forward you Intel's cost models? Just curious.
