Paul - RE: "Intel didn't fire first - but they will retaliate - just wait." Of course they will retaliate, but how much? That is what's important.

Paul, why is it that when Intel reduced the prices by half on its mobile units that was not a price war but AMD reduces prices on its chips, its a price war? If Intel and AMD get into a price war, the result will be two losers.....the pc chips sector will become as unprofitable as graphic chips. ted

Paul, re:<The price war has ALREADY started. AMD started it: www3.sharkyextreme.com; No, actually its a preemptive strike by AMD. AMD knows that Intel plans to sell the Coppermine 128K at low prices and up to 600 MHz. Dropping the price of the Athlon 650 to about $250 at the wholesale level will steal a lot of volume from Intel's new "low end" chip. AMD is tempting Intel to sell the cheap Coppermines all the way up to 650 MHz, but knows that if they do that, they will blow their quarter. Petz
