Cheap chip onslaught from Intel, AMD By Michael Kanellos Staff Writer, CNET News.com March 22, 2000, 12:40 p.m. PT A market share slide for either company in this segment has typically been seen as a cause for alarm. Intel, for instance, began a scorched-earth pricing campaign in January 1999, after AMD gained a number of design wins with large computer makers such as Gateway. The ensuing price war sent AMD from profitability to three straight quarters of losses. Two other companies--National Semiconductor and IDT--were forced out of the market because of the price war. Elmer, I want to point something out to you who, more than any other Intel supporter, complains of Sanders's vendetta with Intel....I know, I know; you are a concerned AMD long. In any case if the source of the vendetta is Sanders, why is that the press always makes Intel the culprit? ted
