Constantine, you may be right that lower priced computers have allowed the kind of growth in the PC market that we have come to expect, but I find it highly incongruous that you credit AMD with this. Other businesses in this world, including Intel, are quite capable of adjusting prices on their own to build market demand for their product. In fact, establishing a lower pricing model is what allowed Intel to get a foothold in the enterprise server market. They would certainly know how to do the same for the consumer markets. Intel is the market leader, not AMD. What has shaped the PC market has happened because Intel has allowed it to happen, not because AMD was there to influence it.

Constantine, <AMD did not bring prices to that level, Intel did because of AMD's threat.>

Your statement is self-conflicting. AMD did indeed bring prices to that level. That was the threat Intel responded to.
