According to this article a price war is not likely this year. Some ANALysts have been arguing that one could ensue, but this article reiterates why I have said in the past that I thought it was not likely:

This snippet makes a lot of sense to me:

In 2000, however, Intel won't be able to afford the convenient 1999 strategy. This is due to the fact that AMD successfully penetrated the high end of the market with its Athlon processor, first introduced in June 1999. By competing with Intel on all fronts, the company eliminated the chip giant's flexibility. According to Michael Slater, the founder and editorial director of Microprocessor Report, "Intel can't afford that kind of aggressiveness with the Pentium III, because for every dollar they take out of AMD's pockets by dropping the price, they take $8 out of their own."

re: "Hmmm, lets see."

Lemmings, Penguins, Morons, Highly Educated, Overpaid **itbrains.

I know, I was once, for a short time, one of those guys.

Do not even try to apply logic to what they do...it leads to inconsistencies. Tom Kulak, a trifle early perhaps (but in that game an unpardonable sin) made AMD his top pick somewhere in the mid teens and ML canned him in about a month for his "stupidity."
