I see steadily eroding margins in MPUs.

I am not sure where you are seeing this. Only 3 Q's ago, INTC was maintaining gross margins around the 62% level; I am not sure what their all-time high was, but that certainly can not be far from it. I am using the comparison of 3 Q's ago since everyone has suffered recently and comparisons using recent numbers would not be fair nor accurate.
