I have a question that I hope you can answer. what is the extent of disparity between Intel and AMD prices ? Does Dell pay more to Intel than H-P pays to AMD for same performance processor ? Does an Intel platform (processor, chipset, MoBo) cost more than an AMD for same performance ? Many posts here have said AMD'a ASP is 100, to Intel's $150. Is that a like-for-like comparison ? Or is it company-wide, without accounting for mix ? The $100 to $150 comparison is across all products. Intel and AMD don't like to discuss specifics how revenue and volumes break down by processor family, or discuss price breaks for specific OEMs. With rebates, bundling and volume discounting Intel probably does come close to AMD in price/performance in certain cases. As a whole they could not based on their revenue and volume of processors sold. And because I was ridiculed on grammar earlier I apologize to everyone for the extra "myself" in the first sentence you quoted. :-)
