Cirruslvr,

The one thing about the AMD price cuts that concern me, they have effectively cut their highest speed parts from the $1000+ range down to the mid $800. That's not the usual introduce new speed grades, move the old speed grades to a middle price point, that is an real price cut in a sub-category of products.

It suggests that AMD couldn't sell it's high end at the old price level, either the OEM's wouldn't accept the price, or the consumer wouldn't. To say that AMD did it because they could and still make an acceptable profit, well I've never seen a company that was quite that charitable.
