RE:"So if AMD had gotten the X-Box win, you guys would be asking AMD to not count the CPU sales for it, like Cubs fans throwing opposing hitters' home run balls back onto the field. Right." You are missing the point. It doesn't matter if Intel loses a little on every X-Box chip. They will make it up on volume!!! ASPs are not given or broken down, If Intel gains share then they will point that out. You can't lose. Jim

"AMD lost the contract because they're flakes." While you make a good point that Intel might have made a commitment to keep 0.18 micron production going for 5 years, the facts don't really back it up. If you remember that day Microsoft gave their original public presentation, the CPU specs reflected the AMD Duron (200MHz FSB and 64k L2 cache), not the PIII or any variant. The decision to use Intel and not AMD happened to near the time of the presentation that they didn't have time to fix the slides. That usually indicates a last minute price bid, not long term commitments.
