Elmer, What's to stop Intel from lowering their flash prices to starve any AMD profits? That would make two predatory pricing sectors, instead of just one. Scumbria

Elmer - RE: "What's to stop Intel from lowering their flash prices to starve any AMD profits?" What's to stop both from both winning in this market? Intel and AMD both said their flash demand will be great. It seems like both are winning as of now. And I don't think there will be a price war if AMD's guy said prices are actually going up along with demand. BTW, it is ironic how you always talk about price wars and how AMD instigates them, but now you are saying what's to hold Intel back from starting a price war in flash.
