Anixter of AMD claims "no price war" I read that one too... best laugh I've had all day... Given the scaling of the P4 vs. the K7, and the fact that the 1.8GHz P4 is starting to mop the floor with a 1.4GHz K7... A 2.0GHz P4 is going to cream a 1.5GHz K7 on any modern benchmark... and have a 500MHz speed disadvantage to boot!!! ...and before you throw up an obsolete benchmark... people DON'T buy NEW computers to run OLD software... Every time I upgrade it's because I've gotten new software that makes my old system choke, cough, and wheeze.

It smells a bit as an AMD attempt at collusion (if that is spelled right). I read the statement as we will only be able to get ("go after") 75% of the market, the rest is Intel's - in an attempt to stabilize prices - I believe that statement clearly reflects that AMD is hurting.
