Charles, was it you who asked for a definition of predatory pricing?

Gwennap .." Even as it cut prices, AMD began losing business. Traditionally stingy Intel began offering big discounts off its already low Celeron list prices--anything to get a design win away from the competition. OEM sources report buying Celerons for as little as $40 earlier this year, despite a minimum list price of about $65."

This article gives a nice summary of what went wrong in the first half. Also, Gwennap suggests it would be suicidal for intc to continue their price slashing given the limited supply of athlon's coming in the 2nd half.
