Re: "Are you saying that Intel would allow AMD to dominate the DP workstation market with Athlon 4 by keeping Xeon prices high, " Intel has dual XEONS - 1.7 GHz - already designed into - and shipping in - workstations. They sell for about $450 each (the XEONS, that is). If AMD gave their AthWIper4US away for FREE, the most somebody would save is $900. $900 TOPS ! - considering no Intel discounts. Do you really think that saving $900 (TOPS) is worth the risk (for an OEM) of putting an unstable, unproven and potentially unreliable system out into a customer's hands - when Intel is providing compelling solutions that are already road-tested and proven? Granted, Crackserver and Workstations-For-Cheap will design in these AthWIpers4US - and AMDroids will buy them - but hey - you and NG and your ilk ain't gonna make AMD any money on this.
