Hmaly, price wars have always ended up hurting AMD more than Intel. The price war back in late-1998 and early-1999 drove AMD deep into the red. It took Athlon, execution screw-ups at Intel, and red-hot demand to save AMD from bankruptcy. This all happened despite the price war, not because of it. Now it's Price War II. AMD is back in the red and will likely stay there for quite some time. At least Intel is making money, which is well above average considering the recession. Once again, this price war is hurting AMD more than Intel. Tenchusatsu P.S. - Those of you willing to bring up the flawed "For every dollar AMD loses, Intel loses three" argument in response, please sit down. The bottom line is that Intel is making money and AMD isn't. It's that simple.
