then discontinue the value segment cpus and get back to the glory days of charging $1000 per desktop cpu. Read my post. What lessened the attraction to the low end of the market was the dot com bust. When the Wirehouses, now controlled by the major federal banks ran out of suckers to fleece. And because they are protected by what I consider to be unconstitutional mandatory arbitration agreements, the only thing that caused them to stop was their clients being tapped. When that stopped, the subsidy of the low end was lessoned and the demand for the "80286's" subsided. NOT SOME GRAND ARCANE PLAN.

C, <Nothing wrong with that plan> I doubt you really believe that. I can plainly see that you are trying to bait a certain response from WBMW. <What the real intention probably was, was to drive the little guys out and then discontinue the value segment cpus and get back to the glory days of charging $1000 per desktop cpu.> You've been listening too long to Jerry "The Savior of Rome" Sanders, who uses the exact same reasoning to justify his jihad against Intel.

Constantine, Re: "This is the same as saying that BMW and Mercedes should go compete in the Hyundai/Kia market to get the measly margins that those manufacturers have. It makes not sense. You will never see high profit margin companies go after low margin market share." Great examples. Since Mercedes actually owns Daimler-Chrysler, they have a number of vehicle lines that compete with Hyundai and Kia (ever hear of the Dodge Neon?). It's a lower margin space, but the parent company (owned by Mercedes) is reaping the benefits with growing revenues. BMW is also diversifying themselves by opening up an E-Business services division, as well as financial and insurance services division. bmwgroup.com; Is there something wrong with Intel going into lower margin markets to grow in revenue? Are Mercedes and BMW also seeking to "destroy" the competition? wbmw
