Re: They have been commoditized imo. AMD currently sells low-end Athlon 64 CPUs now for what they used to get for high end Athlons and Athlon XPs a few years back. Hardly a commodity product. If AMD and Intel can't get more than a couple hundred dollars for their flagship desktop CPUs and both were roughly the same in terms of performance and features, then I'd consider them a commodity.

with that logic you could say automobiles have been commoditized because they have four wheels...there are always new technologies that are coming up that require a full size setup...
