Brian, Now they will have to cut deeply into their flesh to hurt AMD and even then will be unable to impact the faster chips. The shoe may be on the other foot one fine day. Will we ever see Intel with many losing quarters?, not likely but possible. Bill

RE <<<In case you hadn't noticed, INTC has had the same "Scorched-Earth" policy for the past decade, cutting the prices of chips as they moved to higher ground, leaving scraps for competitors all the while maintaining healthy profit margins themselves. I do not believe AMD is any different than Cyrix, Nex-Gen etc etc etc etc>>> Where exactly is the high ground? You have Sun and AMD at the high end for servers and pcs respectively, and Cyrix/VIA and AMD at the low end for low cost pcs and chipsets. It looks to me like intc is surrounded.
