Is AMD still undercutting Intel prices by 25%?

i am not sure who's claiming that intc started it. the fact of the market is that amd is a smaller, less known producer which has to compete on price. i think it is rather disingenuous to claim that intc is not responding.

And AMD announced they would "undercut Intel's price by 25%."

(This was a policy until recently. I don't know if they're still committed to it.)

A bit hard to claim Intel is undercutting AMD if AMD has a formal policy of undercutting Intel prices.

(Not that I think what prices a company charges is government's business, lest anyone think I do.)

Perhaps you weren't the one who claimed Intel is waging a price war but regardless I agree they are responding. What do you expect them to do? They are defending their market share just like anyone would do. If AMD escalates their price war no doubt Intel will respond again and AMD simply can't win this one. In the short term us share holders will continue to suffer price wise but AMD will suffer far worse. What will AMD's share price look like if they fall back into the red?
