Re: "I think that Elmer is correct to say that Intel is reacting to AMD's cuts, but he is incorrect in saying that AMD is waging a price war. AMD is pricing their chips at much lower prices than they would like, but at prices that allow them to be sold. Intel will never adopt a policy of peaceful coexistence with AMD. Too bad for them, as AMD is used to surviving on low ASPs, while Intel and their investors are not." Pravin, the world of business is not a world of peaceful co-existance. It never has been and never will be. In fact other business sectors are much more cutthroat than the AMD-Intel relationship. AMD cuts prices below Intel's to gain market share and that's just fine but when Intel responds that's attacking poor AMD. That's a double standard that show's your bias. The world of business will never be the happy place you want it to be where everybody "gets along". If AMD were to stop this price war against Intel everybody's ASPs would go up. EP
