Re: "In a broadest term, "price war" is nonsense in capitalism. In a narrow term, it makes sense to call a pricing activity "price war" when loss is taken to suffucate the competition. Intel was waging a price war when it sent celery to the toilet early last year in order to KILL AMD. "

Nice to be able to create a tailor made definition just to fit your needs. The fact is that AMD has been selling processors at a loss for most of the last 3-4 years. They have been diverting profits from profitable divisions to allow them to dump their processors while grabbing market share, just like you accuse Intel of doing. You will redefine a price war any way to need to so that Intel is guilty and AMD is innocent.

Thread, in case not posted, a must-read

I am wondering lately what those smart *ss analysts would say if AMD's manufacturing problem becomes that AMD has too much capacity to churn out .18 parts with too good bin-split. Sounds like a pipe-dream. It may happen, IMHO. Then, some people gonna panic.
