cj, <If the result of winning the bid was to lose money on the deal, then it is better that Intel gets that honor.>

I think Jerry's optimism kept him from lowering the price. The XBox contract price is about what AMD is getting now for a low-end Duron, most likely. But Jerry could have made an extra 2M Durons for $30M {EDIT 15M since most of them could be pulled out of the dumpster} incremental dollars this quarter, and sold them to M$ for $60M.

Of course no one could see the slump back then
