Gopher, You are correct in principal, however Intel is trying to get a larger share of the associated chips, (graphics and communication among others) to compensate for this. In addition the sales curve is still climbing so they are countervailing trends that will tend to stop a price war at the high end. Intel can refuse to drop those high end prices deeply as AMD has no way of meeting market demand anyway, and that will buoy it's ASP and also provide an umbrella for AMD. This is the choice Intel faces, cut prices and hurt AMD and hurt themselves worse or keep them high and help their ASP as well as AMD. I expect they will make a few cuts here and there and not drop them all to less than $100. Bill
