John-- Re: Have you noticed the relative Intel/AMD prices at the same high speed grades?

I'd much rather sell 35,000 1 GHz P3s for $1100 then sell 350,000 Athlons for $500, especially when it costs me $60 to produce these parts.

Merrill says price cuts to help AMD hit chip goals

Coming on the cusp of the prime selling season for computers, major price cuts in Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s (NYSE:AMD - news) line of computer chips will help the No. 2 maker of microprocessors reach its shipment targets for the rest of the year, Merrill Lynch forecast on Monday.

I didn't know AMD needed help to reach its shipment targets for the rest of the year. Perhaps AMD really is demand-limited, which wouldn't be a very good sign both for AMD and for INTC.
