FPG, > The only way Intel could price their processors on average below their LTSAP against an "equally efficient competitor" is if they didn't expect to be competing against the EEC forever.

OK, let's use your definition of "LTSAP."

Obviously Intel is pricing well above their own LTSAP, because it's been decades since Intel posted a loss.

How can Intel price below the LTSAP of an "equally efficient competitor"? If said EEC has a higher LTSAP, then it isn't "equally efficient" in my mind.

Once again, X > Y > X.
